Visit our updated website, www.givingfullcircle.org, to learn more about our $275,000 strategic investments in Alexandria and our participation in community service events.

Whether you are a Founding Member or joined more recently, you made an important decision to engage in our community, to connect with other women and make a difference for children and families in Alexandria. And, while we have a new look, the core mission, Preparing Alexandria’s Children for Success, remains the same.

There have been some incredibly exciting things happening this summer. Our hope that we could support sustainable change beyond our financial gifts is happening for both Healthy Families Alexandria and the Playgroups. Read on for details on these exciting developments.

With great success comes great expectations, and the organizations and the people we help are looking to us for leadership in a challenging year. Our goal for the membership renewal season now upon us is to raise $60,000 between by December 31, for a total of $100,000 in member investments this year. While ambitious, stretching our personal financial commitments to The Giving Circle will be essential to take advantage of the important opportunities The Giving Circle has to make lasting and systemic change for families in Alexandria.

While our purpose is to help others, we have found our own lives enriched in so many was through The Giving Circle. We look forward to learning about our community’s needs and making a difference with you in the coming year.

Peggy Morrison Curtis and Holly Sloan Smith
Co-Presidents, The Giving Circle of Alexandria
