How We Operate

Full-Circle Learning (FCL-GAB), is the global advisory board for Full-Circle Learning non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and civil society organizations (CSOs) around the world.

By the time of this transition, Full-Circle Learning generated community transformation stories in forty countries over a third of a century. Its 12 board members each offered decades of voluntary service. More than two million people in 12 countries also benefited financially in the transitional year, receiving funds for capacity building, community impact grants, and scholarships.

Philanthropic (corporate and foundation) grants, individual contributions, and in-kind goods and services provided the means for this organic, systematic growth. Through our commitment to global connection paired with local autonomy, each country has now developed its own board leadership capacity and path to sustainability.

Meanwhile, GuideStar, the research resource for grant providers, accredited Full-Circle Learning with the platinum star, the highest rating for transparency and financial fitness. Great Nonprofits (#GreatNP2023) gave Full-Circle Learning its highest rating for participant reviews. Ongoing research and wisdom exchange helped each country send and receive insights about how to apply the FCL educational model to benefit the well- being of the human family and other living beings.

Each country’s schools continue to apply student learning to address sustainability goals such as food insecurity, health disparities, climate change impacts, elder care, gender equity, conflict resolution, and peace.

Tax-deductible FCL-earmarked contributions may now be received quarterly through our fiscal agent, the Mahmoudi Foundation, whose donation information is linked to this website.
