The Giving Circle of Alexandria
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.

About ACTion Alexandria ACTion Alexandria is a new online civic engagement initiative launched by ACT for Alexandria. Using a new social media platform launching in October, ACTion Alexandria will work closely with local non-profits, city organizations, and citizens to identify and prioritize community needs and challenges and empower citizens to take collective action to resolve them. Similar to community barn raising efforts of the past, ACTion Alexandria operates under the premise that the citizens of Alexandria are the raw material for collective action and change and that meaningful community action takes many hands.
