We are proud to have partnered with the following organizations to collaborate around strategy, design and execution, as well as pro-bono support. The Giving Square could not have grown to what it is today without our community!

Past Grantees

As part of our Kids for Kids Fund program, 3-5th graders have the responsibility to give away $1,000 to a local, kid-serving non-profit organization. Here are the organizations that they have chosen.
