Last year, you made all the difference. YOU are why we celebrated record-breaking success rates—more college graduates who are changing the world. Your dedicated support has helped create a lifetime of opportunities for thousands of students and families and is growing a community where everyone belongs. Thank you.

Because of you, we awarded more scholarships to more students than in our 41-year history, and are already on track to surpass that number with $6M awarded to 3,000+ college students. Our college graduation rate of 80%+ remains strong—300+ students graduated college this year, 84 community college students transferred to four-year institutions and more than 9,500 received college knowledge and financial aid advising with many of our partner high schools achieving record-breaking FAFSA completion rates!

This year also marked the launch of our new Strategic Plan, 2022-2026: Grow College Success within our existing and new communities. With the deepest appreciation to a very generous Anonymous Donor, we received a multi-year, multi-million dollar investment to catapult the launch of our 5-year Strategic Plan. We grew our Fellowship Program by 30% to more than 53 Fellows, expanded to six new partner high schools, grew our community college success program throughout the Bay Area, and launched our new career success program. We are well on track to doubling the number of students to get to and through college by 2026.

We hope you enjoy reading about the impact of your dedicated support.

With deep gratitude and love,
