ArcheCircle is the name of the giving program that provides unrestricted operating support to Archeworks. When you make a gift to Archeworks you are not just a donor, you join our ArcheCircle of supporters. The ArcheCircle includes an annual appeal undertaken by Archeworks’ Board of Trustees, Directors and staff to raise funds for the operational needs of the school.

Since 1994, Archeworks has relied on support from individual contributors to the ArcheCircle to offset the most pressing financial needs of the school including subsidizing student tuition, facilitator salaries, educational technology purchases, and general school maintenance and operations.
Funds from the ArcheCircle also support Archeworks’ partnerships with community and non-profit organizations enabling Archeworks to address social concerns by teaming students with community partners to design products, spaces and programs for those in need.
