The ASU Lodestar Center was founded to strengthen the social sector by enhancing the effectiveness of those who lead, manage and support nonprofit and philanthropic organizations. The Center provides needed research, knowledge, tools, training and leadership-development programs to build the capacity of individuals and organizations to improve community well-being.

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 and beyond to access training, resources and expertise. Launched by the Center's Leadership Council 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 group of champions who are invested in their community's well-being, bolstered by the Center's reach. 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.
