I am writing on behalf of the Legacy staff and Board of Directors. It is with a heavy but also grateful heart I report that Legacy Collective will be closing its doors just shy of its ten-year mark.
In its almost decade of existence, Legacy Collective has raised $8.2 million dollars and given 250+ grants to 150+ nonprofits covering 25+ cause areas across 5 continents, 21 countries, and 28 states. Profound, profound work.
This giving community has, in short, changed lives. It will never be undone. Legacy donors combined their generosity to give grants toward foster reform, anti-racism work, clean water, eldercare, LGBTQIA+ teen initiatives, sustainable housing for the unhoused, BIPOC communities, human trafficking survivors and far more, to say nothing of relief funds raised. This list of grant recipients goes on for pages and pages. Its scope is rare and impactful. This is to be absolutely celebrated, not mourned.
Remaining funds from the Legacy Collective Giving Circle will be split evenly between two beloved organizations we’ve given previous grants to: Help One Now and Café Momentum.
For donors who want to maintain their monthly giving rhythm, we can’t recommend enough transferring your recurring donation to these two final recipients and some of our giving circles that will continue to be managed through Pure Charity by their giving circle leaders:
