StriveTogether

Cradle to Career Grantmaking: StriveTogether is committed to creating better and more equitable outcomes for youth and families. Our investments provide financial resources that build civic infrastructure, expand access to capital to leverage local investments, and accelerate progress towards the improvement of equitable outcomes. Grants made in 2023 supported a wide range of initiatives to build and sustain impactful systems transformation.

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 2023, the Training Hub served over 2,000 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.

Cradle to Career Network: In 2023, StriveTogether supported 68 cradle-to-career partnerships to make progress toward achieving better and more equitable cradle-to-career outcomes for over 13 million youth - including over 5 million youth experiencing poverty - across 28 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.
