With the launch of the new Foundation, Circle is putting decades of mission-oriented efforts into a single endeavour. They are focusing on supporting people and communities who need help the most.

The Foundation will support organisations that strengthen the systems people rely on every day. It encompasses efforts to provide small-business financing in the US and to deliver modern humanitarian help worldwide. The focus is to help more people access the tools, knowledge, and financial stability they need to thrive.
From Individual Impact to Systemic Change
Circle has spent more than a decade working with global partners to improve access to financial tools. These efforts have already made a real difference. They also assisted the UN Refugee Agency in providing relief in the USDC to thousands of displaced individuals in Ukraine. Circle also partnered with humanitarian and fintech groups in Venezuela to send nearly $18 million in support. It aided more than 60,000 healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Circle also backed innovators like Rahat, Ensuro, and ATEC Global. Each of these teams uses digital tools to strengthen financial resilience. The new Foundation builds on these wins. Its mission is to take these kinds of projects and scale them into long-lasting, systemic change.
Supporting Small Businesses Across the US
The Circle Foundation will start at home by helping small firms, which are the staple of the US economy. Despite employing almost half of the private-sector workforce, many continue to lack fair funding. Circle Foundation will partner with Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) to close this gap. These CDFIs use technology to offer affordable capital and share best practices.

While the first grants begin in the US, the Foundation has a global mission. Many people still lack access to financial systems that allow them to build a stable future. Circle plans to help international groups modernise humanitarian finance. With this, aid reaches people faster and with greater transparency.
Circle is also providing support beyond funding. Through Pledge 1%, every employee will receive up to 40 hours of paid volunteer time each year to support nonprofits they care about. The Foundation is a Fidelity-independent donor-advised fund that guarantees permanent, mission-driven giving.
Conclusion
Circle is progressing towards achieving its ambition of improving the world economy. It aims to develop a monetary system that benefits everyone. They are creating opportunities by supporting small businesses, modernising aid, and promoting long-term inclusion.
