The Circle of Giving

The Circle of Giving aims to be a cherished community organization fostering philanthropy and uplifting our local non-profits. Our mission is to enrich our local community through engaging experiences and curated events, who proceeds support non-profits benefitting Williamson County.

The Carousel of Dreams by Ken Means will be a community hub, where joy and nostalgia come together to create lasting memories. The Carousel will offer residents and tourists the opportunity to uplift others, while experiencing the timeless joy of carousel rides, complemented by curated experiences and events at The Factory at Franklin.
