Out-of-the-Box Events: Annual Derby Day party, online fundraising tournament, cocktail parties hosted by members, poker nights, educational forums, food and wine tours, site visits…an array of events that allow members to get involved, get to know other people, and get ideas about how to make a difference.

Kids’/ Family Site Visits: Twice a year, members are invited to bring their children to a behind-the-scenes tour of nonprofits in Chester County. The events are designed to educate children ages 3 – 18 and their parents about local needs and the nonprofits that are working to meet those needs.

Imprints Advisors Group: Members form year-long Advisors Groups with a circle of peers who select a nonprofit to adopt for the year. Members provide pro bono strategic consulting for the year in such areas as executive coaching, leadership development, financial planning, human resource management, and technology.

Giving Circle:  Members pool their donated money and decide collectively how to distribute it in the form of grants. Members choose from a range of giving circle options that best meet the individual’s capacity to give and interest area, and meet two times a year over dinner to make personal connections and set priorities for the fund. In return, members have the opportunity to increase the impact of their gift, to engage with like-minded peers, and to access knowledge about local nonprofits to enhance the strategic outcome of the gift.

Each Giving Circle also decides what portion of its annual pooled donations are allocated to an endowed fund, so sustainable legacy funds begin to be established to create capital assets to benefit the community forever.

Emerging Leaders Program: Members are invited to small networking events to meet with friends of the Chester County Community Foundation who are established in their careers and are models for contributing to the community. Members are offered trainings about nonprofits, how to serve on a nonprofit Board of Directors, and different methods and strategies of giving. Members in their second year have the opportunity to be matched with senior-level executives who offer career and philanthropic advice.
