Launched in May 2002 by Tanya Jones and five friends, the Change Fund charity has 28 members, all young African-American professionals in Baltimore. As with all giving circles, members pool their cash (a minimum of \$250 a year, in this case) to make more sizable donations to charity--and they meet regularly to share ideas, learn about philanthropy and debate which charities to support. The group operates in partnership with Associated Black Charities, which lets members make tax-deductible donations without the expense and hassle of setting up a nonprofit. Their quarterly meetings are also an opportunity to network--recently, members met with the Walters Art Museum's African-American steering committee. Last year, Change Fund members voted to award \$1,000 each to three grassroot charities in the Baltimore area, including My Sister's Circle, a mentoring program for inner-city girls, and Aunt Hattie's Place, a transitional home for boys in foster care.
