Direct Giving Circle
Our community of monthly donors dedicated to ensuring economic security for low-income households.
“The most compelling aspect of DGL is putting money in the hands of people who need it and letting them decide how to spend it. I also like the fact that the families are located in the US. We need to take care of people in our backyard before we look elsewhere. I am a strong believer in basic income and love the idea that DGL’s work can be used for broader changes in social policy.
I would say even if you can only give $15 a month you should do it. For the price of a Netflix subscription you can help a family deal with an emergency financial situation. It’s really a no brainer.”
