Dear Friends,

At the Alliance Foundation, we have the privilege of serving as both champion and catalyst, mobilizing the resources, partnerships, and ideas that turn brilliance into action.

We fund what matters most—exceptional educators, innovative school models, and programs that open doors for scholars. We also listen. We advocate. We mentor. Because we know that real impact is born from community, and carried forward in the hearts and dreams of our 12,000 scholars and 25,000 alumni.

This year, the brilliance of our community illuminated new possibilities.

Our Reimagine, Advance, Advocate Campaign has become the spark to propel us toward the future. With a $5 million matching contribution from a private family foundation, we’re on track to raise an additional $10 million in new strategic investments that will accelerate innovation, expand college and career success, and transform the educational landscape to one that fosters the thriving schools our scholars, educators, and communities have long envisioned.

Our annual report, The Light Ahead, is more than a collection of metrics. It’s a celebration of people. You’ll meet educators redefining what it means to teach, alumni shaping their communities with vision and purpose, and young scholar advocates stepping into civic leadership.

Proof of what’s possible when we invest in brilliance—not only in individuals, but in whole communities working together to light the way forward.

As the Foundation for Alliance schools, our charge is clear: to unlock the brilliance all around us. We do so with deep gratitude for partners like you, our believers, advocates, and builders of possibility.

Our shared future is brighter because of you.

With gratitude,

Catherine Suitor
Executive Director
Alliance College-Ready Public Schools Foundation
