This year’s Fast Facts tell a powerful story of impact. Thanks to your support, 92% of our students enrolled in college, far above LAUSD averages, and 4,500 young people received guidance through our College Access, Success, and Career Readiness programs. Together, we helped students secure $5.3 million in debt-free aid and awarded $650,000 in scholarships, ensuring first-generation and low-income students can thrive in college and beyond. 

Celebrate the Power of Donor-Advised Funds

On October 9th, nonprofits nationwide are celebrating DAF Day, highlighting the power of Donor-Advised Funds. A DAF lets you set aside charitable funds, get an immediate tax deduction, and direct your support to causes you care about. It’s an easy, tax-efficient way to support Fulfillment Fund and help first-generation youth get to and through college and beyond.

Have a DAF? You can make an impact today by recommending a grant to Fulfillment Fund. Need help getting started? Contact our Dir​ector of Develo​pment, Ali Meisel, to learn more and celebrate the impact DAFs make.

Partnerships in Action:
Driving Real Impact Together
 

Last month, our Programs team attended the NACAC 2025 Conference in Columbus, Ohio, where Rachel Livingston, Chief Program Officer, spoke on the panel “Understanding CBO Landscapes: The Foundation for Effective Partnerships & Trust.” Rachel joined leaders from Peak Education and UP RVA to share strategies for building meaningful, equitable collaborations, highlighting our partnership with Cal State LA. Her participation underscored how authentic partnerships between higher education and community-based organizations (CBOs) strengthen student persistence and success.
