Creating Inspirational Realities Collectively Lifting Everyone (CIRCLE) Foundation
The CIRCLE Foundation is an institution that facilitates innovative educational experiences, inspirational leadership development, insightful guidance opportunities and dutiful support service programming.
We are a non-discriminatory, non-sectarian and non-political organization that focuses on preserving and encouraging the heights of human potential, in order to contribute to the advancement of individual, group, and societal progress.
Our History
CIRCLE Foundation was founded on March 20, 2009. Our inception rose out of a turbulent situation, as we were opening our doors to help save an alternative high school and several mentoring programs from being shut down. It was a very transitional time filled with uncertainty, hope, challenges, and faith. Through it all we remained steadfast and were successful in our efforts.
CIRCLE Foundation stood as a beacon of promise and opportunity to the students and the staff of the school and programs that would've been closed. Now over 10 years later, we stand as a promise fulfilled and an opportunity secured. Not only was the school and programs saved from closure, they were nutured within our organization. As we became bigger and stronger, so did they.
Our turbulent beginnings helped to forge the type of organization we have become. Our origin stands as a shining example of the fact that when vision, resilience, purpose, and hard work come together, adversities can be overcome.
What we do
Our mission is to establish an institution that innovatively inspires, motivates and empowers people to develop and realize their highest aspirations.
Our vision is to become an agency of change that encourages, promotes and supports high intelligence, harmonious social interaction, personal fulfillment and humanitarian advancement.
Why donate with us
Many of the youth we serve are living through tough transitional times, symbolically like the one our organization overcame during its inception. With the help of a dedicated staff, volunteers, donors, and friends, we have collectively been inspiring, motivating, and empowering thousands of youth. Our successes include: doubling the size of our high school enrollment while maintaining a 90% graduation rate, increasing our graduation class size every year, assuring that 100% of our students are connected to college or vocations upon graduation, expanding our mentoring program services by 25%. These successes are great but what is even greater are the successes we achieve daily by helping students overcome adversities and find their personal greatness.
