Community Impact in Three Key Areas

It's the financial and intellectual support of Full Circle Fund's members that makes a difference in the community. Our members provide not only donations but, more importantly, hands-on assistance to nonprofit organizations.

Members conduct their work through Circles, focusing their hands-on grantmaking in three key issue areas:

• Education
• Global Economic Opportunity
• Environment

Each Circle continuously refines its understanding of its target problem through public-policy research, discussions with community leaders, and site visits to nonprofit organizations.

"Putting your money where your mouth is - and your time where your money is - generates a whole new type of civic participation that is really critical to our generation."
