Bellevue LifeSpring Membership Circles

Bring a social aspect to your philanthropy and consider joining one of Bellevue LifeSpring’s membership circles.

Membership circles are usually organized within neighborhoods or shared communities. Most meet once a month to discuss business, share program developments, or support fundraising and volunteer events.

As a circle member, you are an ambassador of Bellevue lifeSpring and can directly participate in our mission. Involvement in a circle, through volunteer time or financial contribution, varies from person to person and year to year. We welcome your participation at the commitment level of your choice.

Thanks for supporting Bellevue kids!
