Liz Fisher is determined to democratize philanthropy – Fisher helped create the global giving circle movement.
Written by Helen Chernikoff – A significant recent development in the world of philanthropy — the launch of a giving circle directory by the nonprofit Philanthropy Together — has a little-known Jewish backstory. It comes in the form of Liz Fisher, a career Jewish professional who has also worked in leadership positions at Repair the World and Birthright Israel NEXT. In 2019, as the CEO of Amplifier, Fisher led the creation of Philanthropy Together after the organization secured a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to build the infrastructure for a global giving circle movement.
