A lot can happen in 10 years. A child of 8 becomes an adult. A start-up organization filled with hope and ideas becomes a real force for change.
That’s the story of Future Foundation’s first decade. We have built a village of resources to create a community where all youth can become self-sustainable adults. We have served more than ten thousand impoverished families, expanded to three locations, and built a staff of 38 full- and part-time employees.
You’ll find the complete story in our new annual report, #10Yrs of Impact. The report showcases youth dreams fulfilled and actualized. It celebrates 10 years of service, the thousands of students whose lives we’ve touched, and the impact education can have on youth. You can download a copy of the report here.
Since starting out, the efforts of a smart and committed staff; generous and engaged funders; and skillful partners have enabled us to increase our revenue from $350,000 to $2,039,466. That, in turn, has allowed us to greatly increase the reach and effectiveness of our programs:
| 2004 | 2014 | |
| Participants Served (Youth and Parents) |
15 | 1,520 |
| Locations | 1 | 3 |
| Programs | 1 | 5 |
| Full-time Staff | 2 | 17 |
| Part-time Staff | 1 | 21 |
| School Partners | 2 | 10 |
| Corporate Partners | 2 | 15 |
Fittingly, our annual report concludes with an optimistic look at the future:
We’re excited about the road ahead. Through the ongoing support of our partners and the continued refinement of our model, we will continue to prepare our communities to stand out, with the hopes of one day looking upon a generation of strong, resilient self-sustaining adults.
