2018 Idea Lab

Full Circle Fund Invites you to the 5th Annual Idea Lab. This nontechnical hackathon is hosted and sponsored by The San Francisco Foundation, participants will have a chance to collaborate for a 90-minute session where they come up with innovative solutions for our 2018 Grant Partners. This is an exciting time for Members and guest thought partners to contribute their time and talent to a 2018 Grant Partner they are not currently collaborating with to make a difference in just one night!

Participants will hear from our Grant Partners about a challenge or opportunity they have and then select a “working session” to participate in for the evening. At the conclusion of the event, you will hear demo-style wrap-ups from each ideation working group. 

You can also donate to help support our 2018 Grants by making a donation when you grab a ticket!  Each dollar counts. And as you might know, our Membership dues only cover 25% of Full Circle Fund's operating budget. As a result, we need individual donations, corporate sponsorships, and event revenue to fund our work to build a better Bay Area.
