2011 High School Giving Circle Granted $10,000 to Inspire and Transform Lives.
The 9 local nonprofit organizations that received a portion of the High School Giving Circle $10,000 grant budget demonstrated to the students in a proposal review that their money would help make lasting changes in the lives they touch. Working as a group they chose four priorities for their grants: education, poverty, pets, and foster services.
Here is a list of the nonprofit organizations and projects funded:
