The ASU Lodestar Center was founded to offer training to nonprofit professionals and volunteers, build the capacity of organizations to do their vital work, and provide research, knowledge and tools that help nonprofit and philanthropic leaders fulfill their missions effectively. But this work doesn’t happen without support.

To ensure that our work continues, and to scale it for the future, we invite you to join the Impact Circle—a group of highly informed and dedicated individuals who recognize the urgent need for nonprofit organizations across the region to access training, resources and expertise. Launched to mark the Center's 25th anniversary, the Impact Circle brings together philanthropists, leaders and influencers from the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors who are committed to the Center’s mission and its long-term vision.

We’ve designed the Impact Circle not only as a way to raise funds but also as a community of champions who are invested in the Center’s continued success. Together, we can educate, empower and connect nonprofit leaders; strengthen organizations to solve problems; and make a lasting impact in our communities by accelerating social impact.
