Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

We partner with communities to ensure every child has every chance to succeed because race, ethnicity, poverty and circumstance should not determine opportunity or outcome.

  • Cradle to Career Grant-making: StriveTogether is committed to creating better and more equitable cradle-to-career outcomes for youth and families to build pathways to economic mobility. Our cradle-to-career grantmaking funds provide financial resources that build civic infrastructure, expand access to capital to leverage local investments, and accelerate progress towards equitable outcomes. Grants made support StriveTogether's goal of 23 communities achieving the Systems Change and/or Systems Transformation Gateway by 2023.

    Expenses $10,685,000 · Grants $10,685,000

  • Cradle to Career Network: In 2022, StriveTogether supported 65 cradle-to-career partnerships to make progress toward achieving better and more equitable cradle-to-career outcomes for over 14 million youth - including over 8 million youth of color - across 29 states and Washington, DC. Each network member worked to support stronger pathways to economic mobility by shifting policies, practices, resources and power structures so that Black, Indigenous, Latine and Asian youth and families and those experiencing poverty thrive. StriveTogether strengthened the capability of cross-sector leaders to use our collaborative improvement approach and make progress along the StriveTogether Theory of Action.

    Expenses $8,970,254 · Grants $186,000 · Revenue $959,304

  • Training Hub: The StriveTogether Training Hub builds competencies for leaders in place-based partnerships to help communities transform systems in service of better, improved outcomes. In 2022, the Training Hub served over 1,500 leaders across the country in critical topics like collaborative improvement, backbone excellence, and data & analytics. Over 80% of attendees reported having increased their skills as a result of our trainings.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
