BMPP Giving Circle is a great example of what collective giving can be! A decade of fueling community doers.https://lnkd.in/geeKt-3EIn their own words... We started the giving circle in 2012 and gave our out first grants in 2013. We are Asian American families who have made the midwest our home from our humble beginnings as refugees, adoptees and immigrants. BMPP isourway of showing that generosity has always been a part of all of our cultures, even if American philanthropy is newer to some of us. As our founder, Bo Thao-Urabe said in her remarks, "WhileGiving circles are not the only answer to addressing the systemic inequities in funding to Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders, they are important because we help change the face of philanthropy, and wetake risks to support our communities in ways that foundations often won’t." (If you're interested, see AAPIP's latest data on the underwhelming funding to AANHPIs in MN and beyond.) At BMPP, we make our application process accessible and easy. By doing sowe've seen how our communities thenboldlyask for funding to realize their ideas. We've fundedemerging leaders and new projects. We've fundedleaderswho were not yet ready to establish nonprofits but they still wanted to implement a project. We'refunding those who don’t know how to expertly craft a proposal but they can expertlytalk about their projects. The impact has been tremendous; those doers have completed meaningful projects for young people, for elders, for farmers, for artists, for cities and so on. We builton our community’s strengths and assets because we believe when the doers in our community step up to solve community challenges we all win. Our role is to coalesce our resources to invest in them, so thank you for celebrating with us and celebrating them.
