Founded in 2006, the National Urban League President’s Circle is an opportunity for passionate individuals to become more deeply involved in the National Urban League’s mission. Specifically, the President’s Circle aims to:

  • Change lives through philanthropic leadership focused on equality in education, employment, health, housing, and civic engagement.
  • Communicate the vital role of personal philanthropic action in creating long-lasting solutions to opportunity disparities in urban communities.
  • Expand high-level personal giving and the National Urban League major and planned giving programs.
