The ADF Philanthropy Circle is an exclusive group of influential supporters dedicated to strengthening the Acosta Dance Foundation’s mission. This prestigious circle connects high-net-worth individuals, philanthropists, and strategic partners to create lasting impact through their networks, expertise, and financial support.
Members serve as champions, connectors, and informal advisors. Key functions include:
At the Acosta Dance Foundation, we value the unique contributions of both our Board of Trustees and our Philanthropy Circle (Advisory Board). While both play vital roles in supporting our cause, their responsibilities and expectations are distinct.
| Aspect | Philanthropy Circle | Board of Trustees |
|---|---|---|
| Legal Responsibility | None | Full legal and fiduciary responsibility |
| Governance Authority | Advisory only | Holds formal decision-making authority |
| Financial Expectation | Significant donation encouraged | No specific donation required |
| Term Limits | Flexible | Fixed and regulated |
| Appointment Process | By invitation from senior staff, with advice from the Trustees | Formal appointment through governance procedures |
The Philanthropy Circle provides strategic insight, acts as an ambassador for our work, and plays a critical role in helping us grow our philanthropic reach. Unlike the Board of Trustees, members of the Advisory Board do not carry fiduciary responsibility or governance duties, but their influence and support are essential to our mission.
