Individuals, corporations, government agencies, and foundations all are important donors and sponsors of our work.
Director's Circle members are leaders in the Fulbright alumni community who are committed to the Fulbright values of international understanding and intellectual exploration and want to ensure that those values are maintained.
Members of the Director's Circle are individuals who have made a donation of at least $1,000 or secure a donation of that amount from a third party. Alumni who are under 35 years old can become members of the Director's Circle with a donation of $500 or more. Most members make multi-year commitments (up to 10 years!).
Members are people who can attribute success in their careers or in their personal lives to a Fulbright experience - be it going abroad or hosting a visiting Fulbright scholar. They are seasoned executives who had their first international experience with a Fulbright grant and today work for global corporations. They are young entrepreneurs who learned new ideas and connected with the right people during their Fulbright experience. One member of the Director's circle met his wife while on a Fulbright.
These special contributors and partners assure funding for a variety of FAST programs. At the same time, they also are able to feel the joy of being involved in the global Fulbright community. They can meet and connect with other global citizens, people who are working to change the world for the better. Members of the Director's Circle also receive invitations to special events, receptions and education/training opportunities.
