Funders & Foundations

Our funders include foundations, schools, youth-serving programs, colleges and businesses who believe in the far-reaching impact for both individual families and for society that can come from their investment in our programming. As such, our commitment to them extends beyond just providing quality programming to students and families. Our funders often are key players in helping shape local education issues. We aim to provide programming feedback and evaluation that can help inform future policies and practices, and help them better understand the issues today’s students and their families face when it comes to higher education.

Additionally, many of our foundation clients also are scholarship administrators, a good number of whom utilize our expertise to help systematically quantify the financial need of their applicants. Through our Scholarship Screening Service, foundations receive customized applicant reports and technical support that assist them in identifying which students most need the limited dollars available through their scholarship programs.
