ATLANTA, GA – The Circle of Joy (COJ), a giving circle located in Decatur, GA, celebrated their 5th anniversary last month with over 50 guests at the Steelcase Showroom in Atlanta. COJ is a philanthropic organization under the umbrella of the Community Investment Network (CIN), a membership organization and resource for giving circles in communities of color. To date COJ has granted more than $15,000 and over 1,000 hours in community service to their grantees.
