The giving marketplace is ripe for innovation.
The Better Giving Studio (BGS) recognizes the power of individual donors — whether it’s $5, $50, or $5000, it is the act of giving that counts.

We hope to serve as a resource for the field by offering practical tools, real-world insights, and opportunities for collaboration.
