After several months of due diligence by members of the Technology Circle, the team has chosen the grantee finalists for the 2008/2009 grant year. This year’s grantees represent a diverse mix of nonprofits from new start-ups needing to build infrastructure toestablished organizations looking to expand into new areas.

Subject to Full Circle Fund board approval, the 2008/2009 Technology Circle grantees are:
