Mission
AMERICA'S PROMISE ALLIANCE IS AN INNOVATOR IN COLLECTIVE ACTION AND A LEADER AT IMPROVING OUTCOMES AT SCALE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE IN AMERICA. 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.
Program accomplishments
- 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.Expenses $2,219,346 · revenue $702,687
- 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.Expenses $1,701,208
- 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.Expenses $1,606,354 · grants $217,500
