Evansville's Giving Circle for Men · Since 2018
One evening.
Ten thousand dollars.
One local charity.
We're a group of Evansville men who believe a small commitment, multiplied, changes our community. Four times a year we meet, hear from local nonprofits, vote, and write checks, raising $10,000+ for one cause in a single evening.
Over $300,000 donated to local charities and counting.
The Model
Four simple steps
No committees, no overhead, no long meetings. Just neighbors pooling their giving where it counts.
Meet
We gather once a quarter at a local venue for about two hours. Good people, good cause.
Network
Connect with other Evansville men who care about giving back to the community.
Vote
Three nominated local nonprofits make a short pitch. Members vote on where the money goes.
Donate
Every member gives $100 to the winning charity, with $10,000+ delivered that same night.
Our Presenting Partner
Nobody goes home empty-handed
Thanks to Field & Main Bank, the two nonprofits who don't win the members' vote each receive a $500 consolation gift, so every organization that presents to our guys leaves with real support for their cause. We're grateful for their generosity and their belief in a stronger Evansville.

Our Next Meeting
This quarter's meeting is generously hosted by Six Strings on Franklin. As an all-volunteer group with no overhead and no bank account, we count on local business owners who donate their space so that every dollar we raise goes straight to charity. We're deeply grateful to them for making our mission possible.
