| OUR 501C3 CHARITABLE MISSION, WHICH BENEFITS PRIMARILY STUDENTS IN PUBLIC, UNDERSERVED HIGH SCHOOLS, IS THE FOLLOWING: THE YLEANA LEADERSHIP FOUNDATION SEES THE US'S RACIAL WEALTH GAP (ECONOMIC/WEALTH ACCUMULATION) AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THE OPPORTUNITY GAP (EDUCATION). OUR MISSION IS TO DECREASE THE OPPORTUNITY GAP IN ORDER TO DECREASE THE RACIAL WEALTH GAP - BY MAKING SURE STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO THE BEST RESOURCES POSSIBLE AS THEY ENTER COLLEGE, WE WILL CHANGE THEIR ECONOMIC POSITION AND ABILITY TO ACCUMULATE WEALTH AS ADULTS. OUR SERVICES BENEFIT A POPULATION THAT IS 95% BIPOC, PRIMARILY BLACK AND LATINX, WITH AN AVERAGE FAMILY INCOME OF $32,829. WE PARTNER WITH HIGH SCHOOLS AND CBOS IN BALTIMORE, BOSTON/NORTH SHORE MA, NYC, AND PHILADELPHIA. WE ARE EMPHATICALLY A NON-CREAMING ORGANIZATION, MEANING OUR ACTIONS ARE DIRECTED AT SLOW, INCREMENTAL CHANGE IN THE THICK MIDDLE OF THE CURVE. BY INCREASING THE SELECTIVITY OF THE COLLEGES OUR STUDENTS ATTEND, WE: [1] INCREASE COLLEGE GRADUATION RATES AND ACCESS TO MORE SUPPORTIVE PROGRAMMING[2] SECURE BETTER FINANCIAL AID PACKAGES AND DECREASE LOANS, ALLOWING STUDENTS TO START LIFE WITH LESS DEBT[3] INCREASE SALARIES AFTER GRADUATION - DOUBLE AND TRIPLE WHAT STUDENTS WOULD HAVE MADE AFTER A LESS SELECTIVE COLLEGE WE ALSO PROVIDE ONGOING SUPPORT TO OUR STUDENTS TO AND THROUGH COLLEGE: WE ENSURE THEY HAVE THE SUPPORT THEY NEED TO GET INTO COLLEGE, PERSIST THROUGH COLLEGE AND TRANSITION SUCCESSFULLY INTO A CAREER - WITH THE AID OF THE FOLLOWING PROGRAMS: [1] COLLEGE ACCESS MENTORING [2] COLLEGE SUCCESS (PERSISTENCE) MENTORING [3] COLLEGE-TO-CAREER TRANSITIONAL MENTORING [4] JOB/INTERNSHIP DATABASE [5] SAFETY NET: ONCE YOU'RE PART OF THE YLEANA FAMILY, YOU'RE FAMILY FOREVER - WE'RE HERE FOR YOU, WHATEVER YOU NEED!OUR WORK MOVES THE NORMAL COLLEGE GRADUATION RATE FROM 11% (COLLEGE GRAD RATE FOR LOW-SES, FIRST-GEN STUDENTS) TO 80% (COLLEGE GRAD RATE FOR YLEANA STUDENTS). DOUBLING OR TRIPLING GRADUATION RATES AND CUTTING STUDENT LOANS IN HALF/GETTING RID OF THEM COMPLETELY MEANS YLEANA HAS A DISCRETE ECONOMIC IMPACT ON STUDENTS' FINANCIAL OUTCOMES. WE MULTIPLY THE COLLEGE GRADUATION RATE BY ALMOST 8, MEANING THAT WE ARE MULTIPLYING BY 8 THE NUMBER OF LOW-SES, FIRST-GEN STUDENTS WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM THE $1M INCREASE IN LIFETIME EARNINGS THAT COMES WITH A COLLEGE DEGREE. THROUGH THIS SERIES OF INTENTIONAL COLLEGE-RELATED FINANCIAL DECISIONS AND SUPPORT THROUGH COLLEGE, WE ARE INCREMENTALLY MOVING THE MIDDLE OF THE ECONOMIC CURVE - WHICH HAS THE POWER TO ULTIMATELY MOVE THE CENTER OF THE US ECONOMIC PYRAMID, FOR THE LONGEST-RANGING AND BROADEST IMPACT ON THE INCOME DISTRIBUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. OUR BOARD IS SIGNIFICANTLY MORE DIVERSE THAN IT HAS BEEN IN THE PAST; WE ARE IN A CONSTANT EFFORT TO INCLUDE MORE FOLKS OF DIFFERENT RACES, ABILITY, INCOMES, AGES, BACKGROUNDS, AND CAPACITIES. THE MAJORITY OF OUR BOARD IS RELATED NEITHER IN A FAMILIAL OR BUSINESS SENSE. THE ONLY EXCEPTION IS ALYSSA BOWLBY, THE CO-FOUNDER AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, AND JACOB ROSEN, ANOTHER CO-FOUNDER AND CURRENT BOARD MEMBER, WHO WERE ENGAGED IN A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP. THE BUSINESS THEY CURRENTLY CO-OWN, HOWEVER, IS INACTIVE, AND THEY HAVE LITTLE CONTACT OUTSIDE OF BOARD MEETINGS. WE ARE WORKING ACTIVELY TO DIVERSIFY OUR DONOR FUNDING. BESIDES HAVING A "DONATE NOW!" BUTTON ON OUR WEBSITE AND QR CODES WHICH WE DISTRIBUTE ACTIVELY WHEN MEETING/RECRUITING NEW DONORS, WE HAVE DONE A LOT OF INTERNAL WORK TO DIVERSIFY OUR DONORS AND OUR CLIENTS (FOR INSTANCE, TRYING TO GET INTO OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS LIKE BOSTON, NEW YORK, CITY, PHILADELPHIA). WE'RE ALSO TRYING TO GET MORE INTO GRANTS AND FOUNDATIONS; WE'VE APPLIED IN THE LAST MONTH FOR PROBABLY MORE FOUNDATIONS THAN WE'VE APPLIED FOR IN THE LAST TWO YEARS. WE ALSO HAVE A DEVELOPMENT CONSULTANT WHO'S HELPING US TO DIVERSIFY AND FILL THE DONOR PIPELINE; WE'RE CURRENTLY RUNNING FOUR EVENTS IN EACH OF OUR CORE LOCATIONS TO GET NEW DONORS IN THE PIPELINE. AND OUR CAMPAIGN THIS YEAR IS FOCUSED ON ACQUIRING NEW DONORS RATHER THAN ACQUIRING A GIVEN DOLLAR AMOUNT. WE JUST RECEIVED A $25,000 GIFT THAT WE'RE GOING TO USE AS A MATCHING CHALLENGE - WE'RE SHOOTING FOR 100 NEW DONORS, AND FOR EVERY NEW DONOR SHE'S GOING TO GIVE $250. |
