Larkspur Giving Circle volunteers sharing a joyful meal together indoors

About Larkspur

Neighbors pooling gifts for lasting change.

Since 2016, our giving circle has turned small monthly contributions into school kitchens, mobile clinics, scholarships, and rapid relief — always led by the communities we serve.

Our Story

It started with one shared cooking pot.

Twelve friends, one monthly potluck, and a jar for spare change — that was Larkspur in 2016. The jar funded a village school kitchen. The kitchen fed 300 children. Word spread, and the circle grew to 4,000 members across three continents.

Today every gift is pooled, every project is chosen with local partners, and every dollar is reported back to the circle. Small gifts, given together, do what none of us could do alone.

What guides us

Three promises we keep.

Local leadership first

Village committees choose projects and manage budgets. We fund and support — never override.

Radical transparency

Quarterly field reports, open books, and photos from every project land in every giver's inbox.

Stay after the cameras

We fund maintenance, training, and second phases — because real change happens with consistency.
