Circle Match empowers low-income, first-generation students from Title I high schools by placing college alumni from their own communities back as near-peer advisors and providing free, intensive college advising to students who need it most.

Our results speak for themselves: 96% of our students are admitted to highly-selective colleges, 1 in 3 gain admission to an Ivy League school, and together they have secured over $21 million in financial aid. Every single student completes their degree. And over three-quarters of our alumni return to their communities to pay it forward as volunteers and advisors, keeping the self-sustaining cycle going.

Your gift directly funds our ability to maintain this model at our 12 current partner high schools across NJ, NY, and Los Angeles while also supporting our capacity to support 20 schools in this upcoming 2026-2027 school year. Your funds directly support students getting into college (earning almost half-a-MILLION dollars to attend a highly-selective university for 4 years), and coming back immediately upon admission to open the door for the next generation and transform their communities.

Circle Match is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN: 85-3685852). All donations are tax-deductible.
