How we measure

The metrics we report

Families served

Number of families and children directly supported through scholarships each year.

Program investment

Dollars committed and disbursed across all four pillars.

Partner organizations

Childcare operators, schools, and programs funded and strengthened.

Functional allocation

The share of every dollar going to programs vs. administration vs. fundraising.

Operating reserve

Months of reserve held — our buffer against a hard fundraising year.

Public support ratio

Our diversification, tracked on a rolling five-year basis.

As a new foundation, our first full impact report publishes at the close of our first operating year. We commit to reporting transparently — the good and the in-progress.
