Join CFLeads for a webinar exploring how community foundations can help build and sustain regional student success ecosystems. Student success systems are an impactful, evidence-based approach to addressing post-pandemic educational challenges.

Using actionable data, supportive relationships, and student-centered mindsets, they enable schools to design and implement systematic approaches that improve student attendance, achievement, educational attainment, and well-being. Their ultimate goal is to put all students on a pathway to adult success.

With their focus on community impact, asset development, and grantmaking, community foundations are uniquely positioned to support the scale and sustainability of student success ecosystems.

During this webinar, Nancy Van Milligen, CEO of the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque, and Kristin Walker Collins, CEO of the Foundation for Appalachian Kentucky, will join GRAD Partnership team member, Robert Balfanz, Director of the Everyone Graduates Center, to share how they are working collaboratively with schools in Appalachia and the Greater Dubuque region to plan for and implement student success systems that drive better outcomes for young people.
