Your Growing Home Circle gift is about the future. It’s about our mission to connect people, invest in ideas and build communities. It’s about building a place where all people thrive. And you can help. The Growing Home Circle is a way to recognize visionary donors elevating their support with an annual gift of $1,500 or more. They position us to do more and be better through generous financial support of both our permanent endowment fund and immediate needs in the daily work of our mission. Our Growing Home Circle members have been critical partners bringing our mission to life.

How it all began
The Growing Home Circle was launched on July 1, 2004, over a two-year period. It was a new strategy to build our financial resilience, and we called it our charter phase and charter membership. As we faced a challenge grant opportunity from the McKnight Foundation, individuals, businesses and organizations stepped in to help, with gifts of $1,000 or more. They helped us secure that full match, which grew our capacity to serve the mission in bigger ways. We remain deeply grateful to our Charter Members to this day.
