The Founders Circle Launch
On November 12, 2020, The Founders Circle held its first Orientation Meeting!
At the meeting, the newly formed Founders Circle had a chance to gather, get to know one another and hear updates about the Presents Program expansion, which the group is helping spearhead through their generous support. The evening highlighted special guest and renowned Domestic Violence Expert Dr. Kathie Mathis who shared her powerful, personal survivor story.
Special thanks to Founders Circle Co-Chair Shanna Brooks for her steadfast leadership and dedication to the successful launch of this new donor initiative!

In addition to supporting our program expansion to serve more children in new geographic areas, beyond California and New York, the group has also established the annual Founders Circle Holiday Gift - an extra “group present” intended to benefit all children at a shelter.
PRESENT NOW Co-Founders announced that Good Shepherd Shelter, PRESENT NOW's very first Shelter Partner, has been selected to receive the first Founders Circle Holiday Gift award in the amount of $10,000. Stay tuned to see what Good Shepherd has chosen for their Holiday Gift!

The Founders Circle is a group of PRESENT NOW supporters dedicated to the strategic growth of the Presents Program. These supporters are a diverse group of philanthropists, socially responsible individuals, community and business leaders, from varied industries, whose philanthropic interests are aligned with the vision and mission of PRESENT NOW. Founders Circle members are recommended by the PRESENT NOW community and personally invited by the Co-Chairs. Our goal is to build a giving circle of socially responsible and enterprising individuals who share our vision -- that change is made in increments, and we all can have a voice in the domestic violence conversation.
