Community Investment Network – News

The Community Investment Network (CIN) is a non-profit organization that encourages organizations and individuals to think and act more strategically with their giving to impel greater social change in their communities. The CIN promotes and supports strategic collective giving and community problem-solving by providing knowledge and information regarding various tools and strategies.

Our current membership consists of eleven giving circles located all over the country. There are four located right here in the Triangle area. CIN supports its membership with two components: Strategic Giving Education Program and Technical Assistance / Capacity Building.

The concept of Community Philanthropy is central to this network. Community Philanthropy recognizes that solutions to community problems often originate in unexpected places and from people traditionally excluded from community decision-making. We believe that each of us has the power to be instruments of change in our communities.
