Dedicated to empowering donor-led initiatives that focus on conscious giving, the Banyan Tree Giving Fund aims to support peer fundholders with innovative approaches and sustainable design. Like a single tree that grows into a forest, we believe that small, intentional efforts can grow into a powerful, collective, and lasting impact. Through guided conversations that combine non-violent communication and holistic financial planning, our fund seeks to cultivate a learning-driven, inclusive partnership model, promoting an open, self-sustaining ecosystem of philanthropy.
This initiative is especially focused on engaging donors from first-generation immigrant backgrounds, encouraging them to build a community of support and social impact alliance, while shaping a more inclusive philanthropy culture. Every contribution is stewarded collectively, providing nutritious soil for seeds to sprout and grow. Together, we cultivate a garden of generosity, leaving a lasting legacy of change.
