Building financial
resilience for people and communities everywhere

Through Circle’s Pledge 1% commitment, Circle Foundation works to advance financial resilience and access to economic opportunity at the systemic level — across the US and around the world.

When people have the chance to participate in the economy, they build. Their communities rise. And the world gets another step closer to economic prosperity for all.

“Through grantmaking and long-term support, Circle Foundation is helping small businesses thrive while driving sustainable, systemic change in humanitarian finance.”
