The PRESENT NOW Founders Circle is a committed group of philanthropists and socially conscious individuals dedicated to spreading joy, comfort, and healing to youth in transitional domestic violence shelters.

Founders Circle members enable PRESENT NOW to deliver personalized gifts that create moments of connection and celebration, ensuring that each youth feels seen, loved, and supported by their community.
