The Hot Springs Giving Circle, a component fund of the Hot Springs Area Community Foundation, is a group of active community philanthropists who have the ability to quickly analyze situations and promptly render appropriate responses when nonprofit organizations encounter unanticipated or urgent needs. By combining their donations, they have more impact in funding specific, one-time needs of 501(c)(3) nonprofits in the city of Hot Springs and Garland County.

Along with their philanthropy, members of the Hot Springs Giving Circle, also bring a variety of high level expertise in fields such as medical, art, education, finance, operational management, construction, manufacturing, marketing, and design to assist their nonprofit partners. Many members also serve on a variety of local and statewide nonprofit boards or operate their own charitable foundations.

May 2022 marked the Hot Springs Giving Circle’s 15th year of service to Garland County, granting more than $750,000 to area nonprofits. Nonprofits who are interested in seeking a grant may email [email protected] for more information.
