20/20 Circle

A New Vision for Charitable Giving in Carbon County

What is the 20/20 Circle?

The 20/20 Circle Fund is made up of individuals and businesses working together to increase their impact in the community by pooling their philanthropic dollars. Members make a one-time contribution of $1,000 to the 20/20 Circle Fund, which is invested and grows year after year. 20/20 Circle members meet annually to hear from the most promising organizations and projects serving the Carbon County region and decide which project to fund as a group (one vote for each membership).

The goal is for 250 community members to pledge a one-time donation of $1,000 to create the 20/20 Circle Fund. Once the goal is met, Carbon County will have a permanently endowed fund of $250,000 from which we can award up to $10,000* in grants per year, forever. Donors become lifetime members, receive an invitation to an annual event, and help award grants from the 20/20 Circle Fund to the most promising qualified charitable projects in our community.

A Community Asset. Forever.

We call it the 20/20 Circle because it is a visionary network in our community that is designed to be without end. Help build this significant asset for Carbon County. Fill out the form below or call 1-855-545-1311 to join today.

Here's how it works:

Community Members Donate

A business or individual membership is obtained by a $1,000 donation. Donations can be paid over time as needed. (For example, $250 per year over 4 years)

Donors may choose to purchase multiple memberships and, if they wish, designate the additional votes to others (a spouse or other family member, employees, partners, etc.)

Community Members Vote on Projects

Members meet annually to hear from promising charitable organizations in the region selected through a competitive application process overseen by a volunteer committee staffed from the 20/20 Circle.

After a brief summary from each nonprofit, members vote and award up to $10,000* to the selected project. Click here for the 2021 grant award.

Our Community Benefits

By pooling our 20/20 membership donations for the annual grant award, we can give more to the causes that matter most and have the greatest impact, year after year. Over time, the committee can shape the awards process to adapt to the ever-changing needs of Carbon County. Once you and other members build it, the Community Foundation ensures that this fund is here to benefit Carbon County forever.

*Estimated award based on final goal and CCCF’s current distribution policy. Once established, the 20/20 committee may elect to give more or less or divide available funds, always with the intention to maximize community benefit.

Thank You to Our 20/20 Circle Members!
