Each of the over 100 members of the “Fabulous 50” women’s giving circle donate $200 annually. Submitting a charity of their choice on a slip of paper, each member waits with anticipation to see if their choice is drawn as one of three to vie for the year’s donations.
Magnanimous Men
An offshoot of the Fabulous 50, this men’s giving circle joins in with the group as part of their annual distribution event. For more information about the Fabulous 50 Women’s Giving Circle, please contact Founder Betsy Lease at betsy.lease@icloud.com.
