Report // Rooted In Community: The Infrastructure Powering Collective Giving
The collective giving infrastructure ecosystem features organizations, relationships, and systems that support collective giving beyond individual groups. Infrastructure is key to the growth and sustainability of the collective giving movement. Rooted in Community: The Infrastructure Powering Collective Giving is designed to inform strategy and action for leaders, funders, and advocates already invested in strengthening the infrastructure that enables collective giving to grow, endure, and remain rooted in community.
Drawing on research from In Abundance: An Analysis of the Thriving Landscape of Collective Giving in the U.S., this 2026 report highlights how infrastructure transforms local generosity into a durable, equitable movement by:
- Connecting and strengthening the collective giving ecosystem
- Accelerating growth and building legitimacy
