From start to finish, 2017 has been an exhilarating year here at the Foundation. With great progress toward our 2020 Strategic Plan goals, powerful partnerships with many respected organizations, and the launch of new work that will further advance our mission, we’re reflecting positively on this past year and eager to hit the ground running in the new year.
Through this blog, we aim to make it easy for you to keep up with us and the issues that matter to children and families. Just in case you missed a beat, we have compiled a few of our favorite highlights from the year, broken down by our four key initiatives.
From all of us here at the Foundation, happy holidays! We look forward to reconnecting with you and sharing more exciting news, updates and insights in 2018.
