Pool your giving. Multiply your impact.
Giving circles pool donations together to fund causes they care about—with more impact than any single donor could achieve. Common Change gives your circle the tools to do it well.
How giving circles use Common Change
Community Emergency Fund
Create a shared fund your circle can draw from when members face unexpected hardship — medical bills, emergency travel, or family crises. No awkward asks, just community care.
Neighbourhood Giving Circles
Neighbours, friends, or colleagues who share values can form their own circle — building community while pooling generosity for the causes they care about most.
Shared Values, Shared Action
Turn your circle’s stated values into lived practice. Ubuntu — I am because we are — becomes real when your community pools resources to support one another.
Built for giving circles of all sizes
Shared Fund Visibility
See your group’s fund balance in real time. Every contribution and disbursement is tracked transparently, so every member knows exactly where the money is and where it went.
Dignified Conversations
Members share needs in a private, structured way — not a WhatsApp message or a public campaign. Requests are presented with context, and the group responds together with care.
Collective Decision-Making
No single person decides who gets help. Members indicate their support — “I’m In,” “I’m Listening,” or “I Have Questions” — and the group reaches consensus together.
Simple, Secure Giving
Contribute to your group’s shared fund via EFT or card — once-off or monthly. Funds are held securely and disbursed directly when the group approves a request.
We believe that when people pool their resources and decide together, they don’t just meet needs — they build the kind of community where everyone has a better chance of flourishing.
