ACT For Alexandria - ACT's 6th Annual Nonprofit Excellence Forum Resources

The Giving Circle of Alexandria

Giving Circle of Alexandria logo The Giving Circle is a diverse group of women who are invested and engaged in their community. They believe that confronting the City’s high priority issues collectively and strategically is the best means to inspire social change. With an annual matching grant of $25,000, ACT has helped The Giving Circle increase their membership and impact around early childhood education. In 2009, ACT and The Giving Circle co-invested in a city-wide playgroup initiative to expand a collaborative playgroup model around the City.
