THE ORGANIZATION CONVENES THE CEOS AND LEADERSHIP TEAMS OF LEADING NONPROFITS WORKING IN K12 EDUCATION, POSTSECONDARY TO WORKFORCE PATHWAYS, AND CIVIC HEALTH IN A COMMUNITY DESIGNED TO MEET THE URGENT AND INTERRELATED CHALLENGES FACING YOUNG PEOPLE. THIS COMMUNITY BOTH BUILDS THE CAPACITY OF LEADING NONPROFITS TO INCREASE THEIR IMPACT AND EVOLVE THEIR MODELS, AND IDENTIFIES AND LAUNCHES NEW COLLECTIVE ACTION INITIATIVES FOCUSED ON CHALLENGES THAT ARE TOO LARGE FOR ANY ONE ORGANIZATION TO ADDRESS ON ITS OWN. 0 0 2219346 702687 ALLIANCE COMMUNITY PROGRAMMING- AMERICA'S PROMISE ALLIANCE BUILDS THE CAPACITY OF LEADING YOUTH-SERVING NONPROFITS TO IMPROVE THEIR OUTCOMES AND EVOLVE THEIR MODELS. MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS ENROLL THEIR CEO AND UP TO FIVE SENIOR LEADERS IN THE ALLIANCE COMMUNITY, WHERE THEY PARTICIPATE IN LEADERSHIP COHORTS, CAPACITY-BUILDING PROGRAMMING, KNOWLEDGE SHARING ACROSS ORGANIZATIONS, AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO DESIGN NATIONAL RESEARCH. PROGRAMMING IS BUILT AROUND THE IMPROVEMENT PRIORITIES MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS IDENTIFY THEMSELVES, AND ADDRESSES BOTH THE INDIVIDUAL NEEDS OF EACH ORGANIZATION AND THE CHALLENGES MOST COMMON ACROSS THE MEMBERSHIP. THE AVERAGE MEMBER ORGANIZATION SPENDS 80-100 HOURS ANNUALLY IN ALLIANCE PROGRAMMING. OUTCOMES DATA SHOW THAT 78% OF MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS ARE MORE EFFECTIVE BECAUSE OF THEIR PARTICIPATION;75% MADE STRATEGIC EVOLUTIONS TO THEIR MODELS; 54% INCREASED THEIR OUTCOMES, 47% EXPANDED THEIR REACH;AND 73% OF PARTICIPATING EXECUTIVES ARE MORE EFFECTIVE LEADERS. 1701208 ALLIANCE GROWTH & PARTNER CITIES- AS WE CONTINUE TO GROW OUR ALLIANCE, THIS HYBRID, LOCAL-NATIONAL NETWORK IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT A MORE ALIGNED AND COORDINATED NONPROFIT COMMUNITY, WHILE SPECIFICALLY CREATING GREATER CONNECTIVITY, COLLABORATION, AND COLLECTIVE ACTION OPPORTUNITIES FOR LOCAL AND MORE PROXIMATE YOUTH-SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS WITHIN EACH CITY. LOCAL AND MORE PROXIMATE ORGANIZATIONS HAVE HISTORICALLY HAD MORE LIMITED ACCESS THAN NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS TO THE TYPES OF SUPPORT NEEDED TO ORGANIZE AND SCALE THEIR IMPACT. LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT, CAPACITY BUILDING, AND OTHER SUPPORTS ARE EXPENSIVE, AND IN MANY CASES, THOSE SUPPORTS ARE OFFERED EXCLUSIVELY BY LARGE NATIONAL FOUNDATIONS TO THEIR GRANTEES. OUR PARTNER CITY STRATEGY EXISTS TO MEET THIS NEED, AND BY ADVANCING THE DEVELOPMENT OF LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS AND THEIR LEADERS WE CAN SIMULTANEOUSLY ACCELERATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FIELD AT LARGE. AMERICA'S PROMISE HAS LAUNCHED TWO PARTNER CITIES: ATLANTA AND DENVER. 1606354 217500 COLLECTIVE ACTION INITIATIVES- EACH YEAR, AMERICA'S PROMISE ALLIANCE ENGAGES ITS MEMBER COMMUNITY IN A STRUCTURED PROCESS TO IDENTIFY, DEVELOP, AND LAUNCH NEW MULTI-ORGANIZATION COLLABORATIONS, INCLUDING IDEA GENERATION, EXPERT REVIEW, INITIATIVE DESIGN, FUNDRAISING, AND ONGOING STEWARDSHIP. THESE INITIATIVES ADDRESS FIELD AND SYSTEM-LEVEL CHALLENGES THAT NO SINGLE ORGANIZATION CAN SOLVE ALONE. THE ALLIANCE HAS LAUNCHED FOUR COLLECTIVE ACTION INITIATIVES TO DATE. THE INSTITUTE FOR YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH HELPS DIRECT SERVICE NONPROFITS BUILD RIGOROUS MENTAL HEALTH STRATEGIES INTO THEIR EXISTING MODELS, BETTER EQUIPPING THEM TO IDENTIFY, TRIAGE, AND REFER PARTICIPANTS TO HIGH-QUALITY CARE, REACHING MORE THAN ONE MILLION STUDENTS. THE HIGHER EDUCATION INNOVATION ALLIANCE ESTABLISHES A COMMON PARTNERSHIP MODEL BETWEEN COLLEGES AND THE NONPROFITS SUPPORTING PERSISTENCE AND COMPLETION ON THEIR CAMPUSES. THE OUTCOMES TRANSPARENCY FOR NONDEGREE PATHWAYS INITIATIVE CREATES CITYWIDE DATABASES OF VERIFIED WAGE AND EMPLOYMENT DATA SO STUDENTS AND FAMILIES CAN MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS ABOUT WHICH PROGRAMS TO ATTEND. THE TEACHER CERTIFICATION PROGRAM CREATES A FLEXIBLE, COST-EFFECTIVE PATHWAY FOR NONPROFIT STAFF TO EARN TEACHING CERTIFICATION WHILE REMAINING IN THEIR ROLES; 15 MEMBER ORGANIZATIONS NOW OFFER IT TO THEIR STAFF AND ALUMNI. 1656657 10150 1656657 10150 7183565 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 77 0 1 38 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 8 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AL AK AZ AR CA CO CT FL GA HI IL KS KY LA ME MD MA MI MN MO MS NH NJ NM NY NC ND OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WA WV WI X X AMERICA'S PROMISE-THE ALLIANCE FOR YOUTH 2026570600 1629 K STREET NW SUITE 300 WASHINGTON DC 20006 C GREGG PETERSMEYER CHAIR 10.00 X X 0 0 0 MICHAEL K POWELL VICE CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 STEFANIE SANFORD VICE CHAIR 1.00 X X 0 0 0 PAUL LUNA TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 REY SALDANA BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 ANDREW BUHER BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 STEVEN COLON BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 JAVIER SOTO BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 NOEMI WIERWILLE COO 40.00 X 131137 0 12399 MICHAEL O'BRIEN CEO 40.00 X 515396 0 43832 ARTHUR MILLS IV COO (THRU 5/16/2025) 40.00 X 210129 0 9416 DANIELLA MORELLO LONG CHIEF OF STAFF 40.00 X 212423 0 29140 LINDSEY SELTZER VP, COMMUNICATIONS 40.00 X 196175 0 32177 SHERESE WARD VP, PARTNER CITIES 40.00 X 181236 0 15094 PARVATHI SANTHOSH-KUMAR VP, COMMUNITY IMPACT 40.00 X 225694 0 30689 NITHI THOMAS VP, ALLIANCE PROGRAMMING 40.00 X 233529 0 5902 SADIQ ALI VP, ALLIANCE COMMUNITY 40.00 X 197401 0 8955 2103120 0 187604 14 0 1 0 MATHEMATICA INC 600 ALEXANDER PARK PRINCETON NJ 08540 RESEARCH PARTNER FOR STATE OF YOUNG PEOP 235339 CITRIN COOPERMAN & COMPANY LLP 50 ROCKEFELLER PLAZA NEW YORK NY 10020 ACCOUNTING & ADVISORY SERVICES 156185 NELSON MULLINS RILEY & SCARBOROUGH LLP 1320 MAIN STREET 17TH FLOOR COLUMBIA SC 29201 EDUCATION POLICY GUIDANCE AND ADVISORY S 144000 NORC AT UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO PO BOX 220278 CHANTILLY VA 20153 SURVEY RESEARCH FOR STATE OF YOUNG PEOPL 114500 BRASS RING VENTURES 900 BISCAYBE BLVD 5106 MIAMI FL 33132 AI PROGRAM DESIGN 102998 6 702687 5967535 6670222 383649 383649 18393 -18393 -18393 -18393 7035478 0 0 365256 217500 217500 10150 10150 1163871 581348 412074 170449 3998414 3115686 572049 310679 119149 88436 21148 9565 431862 306490 100432 24940 358117 256064 70997 31056 180421 144000 36421 270424 270424 20953 20953 917195 835722 81473 232600 74330 156069 2201 119922 308 119614 689978 689978 196003 52521 140012 3470 204206 114730 85274 4202 155 155 150354 33604 116750 57648 57648 COMMUNICATIONS & MARKET 114879 114620 259 MISCELLANEOUS 35274 244 35030 G&A ALLOCATION 0 366211 -399547 33336 ALLOCATION OF INFORMATI 0 157792 -177994 20202 713809 -805197 91388 9489075 7183565 1604022 701488 999267 1032022 1358182 1521496 232996 122175 1233609 605695 730259 627914 9053695 6766766 4094179 3566437 16468578 13636810 291804 303433 108000 375750 641063 5091609 4291270 5759163 5343766 X 8684141 5090402 2025274 3202642 10709415 8293044 16468578 13636810 -2453597 37226 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 7730001 14038677 3763047 4520348 6670222 36722295 7730001 14038677 3763047 4520348 6670222 36722295 14420639 22301656 7422 58960 457293 534103 383649 1441427 554 24167 1000 25721 38189443 572500 0.58400 0.51550 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 673515 306749 366766 560094 298946 261148 627914 MEMBERSHIP DUES RECEIVABLE 207500 RIGHT OF USE ASSETS 3358937 3566437 FINANCING LEASE LIABILITY 24921 OPERATING LEASE LIABILITY 4266349 4291270 X 7591767 37226 540016 577242 7014525 20953 20953 7035478 10008138 540016 540016 9468122 20953 20953 9489075 PART X, LINE 2: AMERICA'S PROMISE ALLIANCE PERFORMED AN EVALUATION OF UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024 AND DETERMINED THAT THERE WERE NO MATTERS THAT WOULD REQUIRE RECOGNITION IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OR THAT WAY HAVE ANY EFFECT ON ITS TAX-EXEMPT STATUS. 1 THE JED FOUNDATION 745 FIFTH AVENUE SUITE 500 NEW YORK NY 10151 134131139 501C3 217500 0 INSTITUTE FOR YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH 1 YOUTH TRUSTEE BOARD STIPENDS 9 9000 STATE OF YOUNG PEOPLE FOCUS GROUP STIPENDS 23 1150 PART I, LINE 2: AS PART OF THE GRANT AGREEMENT WITH AMERICA'S PROMISE ALLIANCE, THE GRANTEE ORGANIZATION IS REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A NARRATIVE REPORT SUMMARIZING GRANT-FUNDED ACTIVITIES UPON CONCLUSION OF THE AGREEMENT PERIOD.
