Our Generous Donors

We deeply appreciate the visionary foundations, corporations, and individuals who fund Spokes and partner with us in achieving our mission. When they give to Spokes, they give to each of the nonprofit organizations we serve and, thus, we all benefit from their generosity. Our ability to achieve our vision of a well-trained and empowered nonprofit sector would not be possible without their partnership and we recognize them here with much gratitude.


Founders Circle Members

The Founders Circle is an opportunity for entrepreneurial-spirited, community-minded, and philanthropic organizations and community leaders to provide seed money for Spokes to create a strong foundation in its critical founding years. Varying options of support are available to accommodate the generosity of all donors, ranging from $50,000 to $5,000.

The Hind Foundation
