A Community Committed to Ending Poverty

Circles NWA is a community-driven program that depends on the support of our community to sustain the work we do. At Circles, we are focused on building community to end poverty. The magnificent, diverse, committed community we have built over the past four years has been the driving force behind the new, innovative initiatives coming out of our program. These initiatives include the new VOIS Fellows program, a community leadership "part-2" program for Circle Leader graduates who want to grow their advocacy and public narrative skills. It also includes our new fair auto financing program, "Driving Change," set to launch in 2025. This exciting new pilot with help create access to quality used vehicles for individuals with poor credit.

These ideas and solutions are only possible because of the Circles program, which brings in and launch out new cohorts of Circle Leaders and Allies year over year, sharing life together and sparking conversations and commitments that lead to change. 

Poverty is complex and dynamic. There is no "check the box" simple solution. What will it take to actually end poverty? A community committed to ending poverty. A community committed to removing the barriers that keep people stuck. A community that says "we are not okay with this barrier existing in our community. We have to do something about this. TOGETHER."

We know everyone's giving capacity is different. That is why the community committed is about the NUMBER OF DONORS not the specific amount. We want as many people being part of the community committed as possible!

We are building a community committed to ending poverty. Join us as a monthly donor to help us sustain Circles and expand the impact we are having in NWA.
