Reimagine what it means to be part of the Emory community. With Emory Impact Circles, you’re able to connect with alumni, parents, faculty, and staff who all share common goals. Together you’ll invest in causes that matter to you.
How it works?
The three Impact Circles (Women of Emory, Black Emory, and LGBT+ Emory) each raise funds that become grants for Emory faculty, staff, and student organizations. To date, the Circles have awarded over $400,000 to more than 20 projects across both campuses.
Why your gift matters?
Unlike most funds, the Impact Circles are not endowed. Each year, we exhaust the funds with every dollar going directly to projects advancing causes important to the respective Circle. Your gift helps us continue offering grants to projects needing support.
Women of Emory – From helping underrepresented communities explore nature to funding an empowerment program for teen girls in metro Atlanta, the Women of Emory Impact Circle aims to transform the lives of women and girls.
Black Emory – Now in its third year, the Black Emory Impact Circle took on projects that focused on expanding global education to historically underserved students, created space for mentorship at Oxford College, and gave stipends to students studying race and difference.
LGBT+ Emory – Join the excitement as we celebrate LGBT+ Emory’s first year of awarding grants. Your gift will help us fund projects that range from the student experience to research.
