Am I required to donate to be a member?

While the primary goal of a Giving Circle is to collectively donate and make an impact, donations are not always strictly required for membership. Specific groups may have their own rules, so it's always best to check with your group's leadership for their particular policy.
In most Giving Circles, non-donating members can still access general group features and participate in events. However, if a group's settings require active donations for participation, these members typically cannot use the messaging feature, nominate nonprofits, or vote on them.
