DEMO DAY

Each year, over 250 Members, corporate and strategic partners, foundations, and Grant Partners join us to formally unveil our Grant Portfolio and celebrate our partnerships at Demo Day, our trademark community event. Each of our nine 2013 Grant Partners presented to our broader community, highlighting their mission and model, the problem the organization strives to address, and the project Full Circle Fund and the Grant Partner will be collaborating on.

PROGRAMS Throughout our Grant Cycle, Full Circle Fund designs programming that leverages local expertise to inform our Members and network about the challenges facing our communities, and the solutions driven to address them. Our programming prioritizes Member education and encourages involvement in social issues and innovations. By enabling participation, learning, and active collaboration between Members, the community, and our Grant Partners, our dynamic programming inspires a ripple effect of collective impact.

INAuGuRAL IDEA JAMATHON

The Full Circle Fund Rising Leaders are a special cohort within the membership made up of passionate and motivated early-career professionals, who are proving to be at the forefront of iterating Full Circle Fund’s work and addressing the challenges nonprofits are facing. In 2013, the Rising Leaders set out to grow their impact beyond our portfolio by applying the hackathon model to amazing organizations. Their vision gave birth to the Idea Jamathon, where the Rising Leaders selected high impact organizations with pressing needs to participate in a day of solutions-oriented brainstorming with Full Circle Fund. At the event, the organizations pitched their challenges, joined working teams, and brainstormed solutions over the course of a few hours. The group then reconvened to hear demo-style presentations on the outcomes, and the Rising Leaders awarded a financial grant to fund the most innovative solution. As a result of the Idea Jamathon’s resounding success, the Rising Leaders hosted a second Jamathon #GivingTuesday Jamathon in December. In total, the Rising Leaders, other Full Circle Fund Members, and community stakeholders helped 15 organizations outside of our portfolio, contributed over 360 combined hours of pro bono consulting, and donated $7,500.

Through our Demo Dollars, additional individual contributions, and surprise matching grants from our partners, our audience raised over $70,000 for local impact. We were thrilled to announce a $50,000 grant to Ed100 by the Stuart Foundation and a generous $10,000 matching grant to buildOn by Pacific Gas & Electric Company. Demo Day encapsulates the power of Full Circle Fund’s model and philosophy in just one night: by empowering members of our community to work together, we leverage time, resources, passion, and talent to help local nonprofits reach their goals and create lasting change.

Page 6: Full Circle Fund // 2013 Annual Report

GRANT PARTNER IDEA LAB In 2013, we continued pioneering the Idea Jamathon model by designing the collaborative event to benefit our Grant Partners. The 2013 Grant Partner Idea Lab, hosted by The San Francisco Foundation, brought together Members and other community leaders to help our nine grantees with a specific pain point outside of the scope of their Full Circle Fund projects. All of our Grant Partner organization leaders received fresh insight and perspectives on approaching their issue areas, and Members had the opportunity to plug in to a project they wanted to learn more about. The Idea Lab shines as a powerful tool to leverage our network that will enhance our work with nonprofits in the years to come.

PARTNERSHIPS THE SAN FRANCISCO FOuNDATION

Through this exciting partnership, TSFF has spoken at key Full Circle Fund events to share perspectives and learn from Full Circle Fund’s Members and work. The Foundation will additionally have exposure to Full Circle Fund’s range of initiatives, including marquee programs such as Demo Day, Idea Lab and Idea Jamathon. The Foundation will be the lead Foundation Sponsor of Full Circle Fund’s 2014 Demo Day.

“I am thrilled to partner with Full

Circle’s network of smart members to come up with

solutions on a variety of topics that we at TSFF care about deeply. We are learning a great deal from Full Circle Fund and the terrific grantees that they discover and we love being able to share

the work of the many grantees we support. Together we are investing in organizations

and leaders that will create a healthier and more sustainable Bay Area.”

“The partnership between

Full Circle Fund and The San Francisco Foundation is an exciting

opportunity for our organizations to work together to share knowledge and engage donors

to create positive social change and impactful philanthropy in the Bay Area. We are delighted to bring our six decades of local experience in seeking out innovative local leaders and organizations to the

passionate new philanthropists of Full Circle Fund and look forward to expanding

the partnership in the year ahead.”Ruben Orduña

Vice President, Development and Donor Services

Program Director, Environment, Public Policy & Civic Engagement

The San Francisco Foundation (TSFF) and Full Circle Fund launched our Strategic Partnership in 2013 to leverage the Foundation’s deep roots and knowledge of San Francisco’s communities. As organizations that are committed to engaging donors and Members in social impact, TSFF and Full Circle Fund find tremendous value through sharing knowledge, experience and leadership in the fields of grantmaking and innovative philanthropy, enhancing education, programs, and resources for our respective Member and donor communities.

Parents are an underappreciated resource in schools. When parents are informed and organized, they can have an enormous influence. But they are busy, and education issues can be complicated. Wouldn’t it be great if there were a way to help motivated parent leaders come up to speed faster, so that they can have a bigger impact?

In 2014, in collaboration with the California State PTA, Full Circle Fund launched Ed100.org, a free, self-paced online course for parent leaders and others who want to help education work better in California. Plainly-worded lessons, available in both English and Spanish, explain the issues. As they learn, the site tracks participants’ progress, building a personalized completion certificate. Discussion features help participants learn from one another. And, in a feat of good timing, the site has been designed to help parents collaborate in the development of their school’s Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), a new California requirement. Beginning in the fall of 2014, Ed100 will also be used as the online “textbook” for Changing Education, an online course from Stanford.

This resource originated in 2005 as a memo for Full Circle Members interested in education. This ambitious re-imagining of Ed100 has been made possible with support from the Stuart Foundation and the Kabcenell Foundation, as well as involvement from Full Circle Fund Members. Partly due to this work, Jeff Camp was appointed to the Governor’s Committee on Education Excellence.

Members partnered with the San Mateo County Office of Education and local school boards to create an Innovation Zone that accelerates the transformation of teaching and learning in the digital age through personalized education. Part sandbox, part R&D center, the iZone cultivates bold innovation by creating a network of innovators among local schools and the Silicon Valley community. iZone’s focus is upgrading digital classroom infrastructure, building a culture of innovation and using data to personalize learning. The team raised $400,000 from the Silicon valley Community Foundation to develop a Center for Learning Analytics, partnering with nine districts to help schools measure effectiveness of technology and spread the use of data to close the 38% achievement gap.

Kim’s leadership helped set a course to upgrade and fund countywide digital infrastructure. The team worked with Education Superhighway to conduct speed-tests and network snapshots in all 23 school districts, finding that two-thirds of the 93,000 students lack adequate connectivity for digital learning. The iZone is mobilizing the community to provide bandwidth, support and training to transition to 21st Century learning environments. Given Silicon Valley’s leadership in the global ecosystem, this local investment has potential for vast global impact.

Our 2013 Lasting Impact Honorees, Jeff Camp and Kim Jacobson, have been involved with Full Circle Fund for over a decade as leaders in the Education Circle. Through spearheading new projects, they have successfully incubated two initiatives through Full Circle Fund that have transformed both their education niches and professional trajectory.

“Education change is complex work. When I

left the tech sector and began ex-ploring ways to help make education work better I wished for a jargon-free resource to help me understand the full range of com-

peting ideas and perspectives. It didn’t exist. Eventually, with help from

many people, I decided to write it as Ed100.org.”

“The iZone team generated tremendous momentum for the

initiative, and is now focusing on building capacity to support its goals. Educators and

the community are working together in new ways, unleashing our collective power to co-design the future of teaching and learning.”

IZONE KIM JACOBSONED100 JEFF CAMP

Jeff Camp Ed100

Jeff Camp has been an active Member of Full Circle Fund for more than ten years, and is the creator of Ed100. Prior to his work for education change, Jeff worked at Microsoft in Redmond and Tokyo. He is an astrocytoma survivor and has been known to write songs for Full Circle’s informal band, the 360’s.

Kim Jacobson has been a Member since 2004 and a very active leader in the Education Circle. Kim launched iZone, a multi-year initiative, to prepare California students to thrive in our evolving, global, information-rich world and was invited to the Stanford Institute of Design (aka the d.school) to develop and prototype this idea.

IMPACT SNAPSHOTIn 2013, Full Circle Fund worked with organizations Black Girls CODE and WE CARE Solar at truly special moments in time. Both steered by powerful and inspirational women, these organizations are on the brink of creating large-scale change. Full Circle Fund worked with their dynamic leaders at real inflection points as they positioned themselves to catalyze amazing opportunities both locally and globally.

WE CARE SOLARWE CARE Solar designs portable, cost-effective solar suitcases that power critical lighting, mobile communication devices and medical devices in low resource areas without reliable electricity.

PROJECT Members collaborated with WCS to refine its messaging, strengthen its technological capacities and expand its social media presence. Together, Members scoped out a development and outreach strategy that focused on cultivating individual philanthropists, building relationships with supporters on social media, and refining calls to action—all informed by over 30 detailed interviews with WCS staff, board members and funders.

IMPACT During the partnership, WCS co-founder, Dr. Laura Stachel, was named one of CNN’s Top Ten Heroes of 2013. As a result of this outstanding recognition, WCS worked with Full Circle Fund to leverage this momentum as an opportunity to build awareness and support for the organization. Members created targeted messaging to highlight their tangible impact, increased individual donor engagement, and developed a social media campaign to cultivate new supporters and deepen existing relationships, resulting in over $86,000 in donations from the CNN site alone.

Co-Founder: Dr. Laura Stachel Team Leads: Annemiek Hamelinck, Kristen Pedersen & Elizabeth Ramirez Circle: Economic Opportunity

APPROACH WE CARE Solar (WCS) approached Full Circle Fund seeking to better communicate its work and build a more diverse fundraising strategy to bring its life-saving solar suitcase to clinics across developing countries.

“Full Circle Fund helped us change how we view and use donor cultivation and community engagement. By showing us the power of community engagement through leveraging social media, donor communications, and marketing, Full Circle Fund enabled us to enhance our strategy on fundraising and craft a strong call to action. These tools were invaluable to our team this year.” - DR. LAuRA STACHEL, FOuNDER OF WE CARE SOLAR

“Our partnership with WCS exemplified what Full Circle Fund is all about -- an engaged, dedicated group of professionals using their expertise to help extraordinary nonprofits making a difference in communities. The CNN Heroes opportunity was serendipitous, and we were able to call on a range of skills -- tech, marketing, fundraising -- to help the organization make the most out of this fantastic platform.” - ELIZABETH RAMIREZ, TEAM CO-LEAD

BLACK GIRLS CODEBlack Girls CODE aims to increase the number of women of color in the digital space by empowering girls of color ages 7 to 17 to become innovators in STEM fields, leaders in their communities and builders of their own futures through exposure to computer science and technology

PROJECT Full Circle Fund partnered with BGC to create replication strategies and systems for the organization’s expansion, and built out a board development toolkit as BGC transitioned from a fiscally-sponsored project to a 501(c)3 nonprofit. Members spearheaded BGC’s fundraising strategy and produced BGC’s framework for scaling through conducting over 30 thorough interviews of chapter-model nonprofits to inform BGC’s growth plan. Members also created chapter management guidelines, goals and reporting and evaluation tools to enable BGC to build self-sustaining and efficient chapters globally and scale with success. IMPACT In the summer of 2013, BGC launched the ‘Summer of CODE’ crowdfunding campaign to bring their mobile lab to ten new cities and to 2,000 more girls, born out of brainstorming session with Full Circle Fund Members. BgC exceeded their campaign’s $100,000 fundraising goal by almost $15,000 thanks to our Members’ guidance and crowdfunding expertise. Additionally, Full Circle Fund worked with Kimberly Bryant on organizational development given BGC’s recent growth and provided executive coaching to position her for continued strong leadership through the organization’s future expansion. The San Francisco Foundation recognized Kimberly Bryant as ‘A Woman Changing The World,’ and awarded BGC with a $20,000 grant, attributed to the organization’s partnership with Full Circle Fund. Bryant was also named a ‘Champion of Change’ by the White House in July 2013, and has been recognized as one of ‘10 Visionary Women’ by CNN in 2014.

“The opportunity to work with the Full Circle Fund partners during our grant period last year was a turning point for our nonprofit organization. The collective expertise and knowledge of the FCF partners is incredible and their commitment to the success of Black Girls CODE was both phenomenal and heart-warming. Their institutional knowledge and guidance helped to shape our strategic vision for the next five years and provided us with critical tools to transition into our next phase of growth.” - KIMBERLY BRYANT, FOuNDER OF BLACK GIRLS CODE “It was exciting to be part of such a formative time for BGC, and to see both their impact and their presence in the community grow. I know Kimberly will continue to pioneer in a field that is incredibly important to the Bay Area, and I’m glad to have been part of it.” - CHRISTA BROWN, TEAM CO-LEAD

Executive Director: Kimberly Bryant Team Leads: Christa Brown, Michelle Carreon & Lauren Weston Circle: Economic Opportunity APPROACH Black Girls CODE (BGC) was steadily developing traction and generating buzz nationwide when it approached Full Circle Fund. At the beginning of 2013, the organization needed to find a way to scale efficiently to meet the demands of the over 60 cities in the u.S. that requested their curriculum.

CALIBER SCHOOLS

Caliber Schools aims to redesign public schools to prepare all students, regardless of family income, for four-year colleges and successful careers. They are creating a network of schools with an innovative approach to delivering rigorous, personalized education. Caliber plans to serve 5,000 students in Bay Area communities and is opening its first K-8 school in August 2014 in Richmond, California. Co-Founders: Jennifer Moses & Ron Beller Team Lead: vivian Wu Circle: Education

APPROACH Caliber Schools presented Full Circle Fund with the opportunity to affect real change during its critical early growth stage. Caliber approached Full Circle Fund even as they were seeking approval for their first charter. Together, they identified three high priority needs: refining their core vision and developing market positioning and messaging, building a network positioned to scale, and developing a groundbreaking K-8 computer coding curriculum. Members dove right into this ambitious collaboration by interviewing 18 school networks, funders and education experts to learn about best practices and challenges of successful Charter Management Organizations as they scaled. The group held three intensive marketing workshops to clarify Caliber’s strategy and unique differentiators, attended Caliber’s summer pilot, and gave input as Caliber developed its programming curriculum. PROJECT As a result of this partnership, the founding Caliber Schools team established a common language and vision around their goals and values that serves as a critical foundation as they launch, hire and scale. Full Circle also created a marketing positioning statement, developed a narrative path to focus on core beliefs, and crafted messaging to engage families, teachers, funders and the community in Caliber’s work. They also delivered a set of planning recommendations to help Caliber as they hire and make decisions that will affect their ability to scale successfully and impact education outcomes for more children. Influenced by compelling Member research on pace of growth, Caliber also decided to temper its urgency in applying for a second charter to focus first on ensuring success at their pilot school. IMPACT Since their engagement with Full Circle Fund, Caliber Schools has leveraged its strong marketing foundation to apply for grants. Recently, Caliber was awarded a prestigious gates Foundation Next generation Learning Challenge grant, with additional funding from Charter School Growth Fund. They are on track to launch Beta Academy fully enrolled with nearly 300 students in year one, and have nearly completed hiring of the academic staff, including a computer science teacher. Caliber has been cited by education reform innovators as ‘a school to watch’ for 2014.

“We loved working with FCF -- you brought talented people to the table who were great thought partners but also helped us put those thoughts into action. The FCF team helped us hone our mission statement and communications materials, and provided insights into expansion that has really been part of our long range planning. Individual Members have continued to work with us on specific areas, like developing our computer coding curriculum. Thank you for your time, talent and treasure.” - JENNIFER MOSES, CO-FOuNDER OF CALIBER SCHOOLS

We partnered with Caliber at ground zero - before their first charter was even approved - but it was a great opportunity to work closely with a small founding team whose vision for a new school model really inspired us. Now they’re about to launch their first school! It was an incredibly rewarding experience for me and the rest of our team.” - VIVIAN Wu, TEAM LEAD

“One thing that I’m going to take home from this journey is how to use photography to send a simple message to people, and especially use that in telling people how much the Delta really means.” - STuDENT PARTICIPANT

APPROACH Full Circle Fund collaborated with National Geographic Photo Camp, Restore the Delta, and America’s Cup Healthy Ocean Project in 2012 & 2013 to engage youth in environmental issues and increase community awareness of the California Delta. Full Circle Fund Members raised funds to support the camp, spearheaded a four-day workshop for 20 students to document their connection to the Bay and delta. The project was featured at the America’s Cup Pavilion in 2013 for thousands of visitors to see. Together, the students captured images that told complicated stories in powerful ways, increasing environmental awareness and the potential for positive change for today’s water crisis.

Key Organizations Involved: Restore the delta, america’s Cup & National geographic Team Leads: Michael Frost & Susan Reeve Circle: Environment/Energy

“The students really changed over that week and learned so much our human connection to the Bay / Delta ecosystem! Biological diversity, economic value, and the need for positive change were all learned through experience. The collaborative nature of this project shows the true power of leverage at Full Circle Fund.” - MICHAEL FROST, TEAM CO-LEAD

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC PHOTO CAMP In partnership with local newspapers and community organizations, National Geographic Photo Camp inspires students to explore their communities through the camera’s lens, and to share their vision through public presentations and exhibitions across the united States and throughout the world.

PROJECT The project tells the Delta’s story and establishes the value of the region, ecosystem, Delta agriculture, tourism, and fishing industries, and people that live there. The project’s impact can be measured by the media coverage, students’ learning and development, and the increased visibility for Restore the Delta. IMPACT Thanks to the support of Full Circle Fund Strategic Partner and official law firm of America’s Cup, Hanson Bridgett LLP, the partnership was able to showcase the students’ work through photo and video at an America’s Cup reception and celebration in August 2013. Restore the Delta also created a powerful video weaving together the students’ stories and experiences, and have used it to tie the region to the San Francisco Bay, Pacific Ocean, and the world. The impact of the project continues to create a ripple effect as the students and media continue to tell the Delta’s stories and raise awareness to protect California’s most sacred ecosystem.
