Our mission

Built on the idea that every cent counts.

Common Cents Giving Circle is built on the idea that small regular contributions can add up to big change.

We bring people together to pool their giving, support local initiatives and create a stronger Canberra community. Whatever you’re able to give, your contribution joins others to make a bigger difference close to home.

How it works

Give a little. Together, it adds up.

Contribute

Make a regular donation of any size to the Common Cents Giving Circle.

Pool

Your gift is combined with contributions from others across Canberra.

Support local

Pooled funds support local initiatives focused on areas such as mental health and wellbeing, and domestic and family violence.

Why give together

More impact than giving alone.

Every gift matters

You don’t need to give a lot to be part of something meaningful.

Community powered

Giving alongside others turns individual generosity into shared impact.

Locally focused

Support stays in Canberra, helping local initiatives and the people they serve.

Your Cents Make Sense

Every contribution, big or small, helps create a stronger Canberra community. A regular donation helps build the fund over time.

Common Cents Giving Circle is cofounded by Carolyn Ludovici and Megan Parsons. Hosted by Hands Across Canberra.
