About the 20/20 Circle
The 20/20 Circle brings individuals and businesses together to amplify their community impact by pooling their philanthropic funds. Members make a one-time contribution of $1,000 (payable over up to four years) to the 20/20 Circle Fund, which is invested and grows over time. Annually, members gather to learn about promising organizations and projects in Carbon County and collectively decide which project to support through a group vote (one vote per membership).
