In July 2024, CBE decided to sunset its school incubation work and operate as CTDC, a coalition composed of over 100 schools, tutoring providers, national design partners, and community organizations, working to expand access to HIT and strategic staffing models for students furthest from opportunity. Prior Corporation support enabled CTDC to activate a total of 2,256 tutors for the 2022-23 and 2023-24 school years.

Young people from low-income backgrounds in the United States are often faced with two paths after high school – either incur debt for a four-year degree with no guarantee of a high-mobility job or settle for a low-wage job with minimal career advancement. Amid the pressing need for healthcare professionals and high-quality pathways into this profession, Propel America provides an alternative pathway for young adults to continue their education while also moving towards employment in a stable career in healthcare. Propel operates in five regions across the country (Baton Rouge, Camden, Los Angeles, Newark, and Philadelphia), works with seven healthcare systems, and provides tuition-free training for three medical pathways. Through strategic partnerships with higher education institutions and employers, Propel ensures that their fellows receive training that aligns with industry needs and leads to successful career placements.

General support of Propel will enable them to deepen their work with regional partners and increase their reach to 1,600 fellows per year.

In the United States, high school graduates from high-income families are twice as likely to enroll in postsecondary education compared to their low-income peers. To address this gap, the Squash Education Alliance (SEA) provides academic and college-focused support, helping 92 percent of its 1,700 participants pursue higher education since 2005. With previous support from the Corporation, SEA has awarded $180,000 in Carnegie scholarships to 100 students and launched the Carnegie Community Engagement Initiative in six locations, providing wraparound services to an estimated 4,000 individuals. Through this renewal, SEA will expand the initiative to twelve locations, reaching over 6,500 new community members, and award scholarships to 255 additional students, many of whom are first-generation college students. These efforts aim to strengthen college access and support for low-income families.

Project Title
For core support of Braven New York
Date
Sep. 11, 2025
Duration
24 months
Description
While a four-year college degree continues to be the single best predictor of socioeconomic mobility, many of the barriers faced by low-income and first-generation students can persist through and beyond college. Since its founding in 2013, Braven has empowered over 14k promising, underrepresented college students with the skills, confidence, experiences, and networks necessary to secure a strong first job within six months of college completion. Braven Fellows—college sophomores, juniors, and transfer juniors—receive academic support, leadership coaching, and mentorship at their postsecondary institution through a credit-bearing course. Upon completion, fellows continue to receive guidance through six months post-graduation, with the objective of bridging the gap to graduate school or a good first job. With prior Corporation support, Braven established its NYC footprint and successfully launched partnerships at Lehman College and City College of New York. Continued Corporation support would directly serve nearly 2,000 Braven Fellows in NYC and support the launch of programming at two new partner institutions: University of Mount Saint Vincent in Fall 2026 and Hunter College in Spring 2027.

Description
The growing threat of a new nuclear arms race among the U.S., China, and Russia, calls for renewed explosive nuclear testing in multiple countries. At the same time, heightened risks for nuclear conflict in various hotspots have also increased the political salience of nuclear weapons and cast uncertainty over the future of arms control and nonproliferation. The Arms Control Association (ACA), a trusted venue for dialogue between government officials and nongovernmental experts, helps to reduce nuclear dangers by providing research and data-driven analysis, organizing bipartisan and Track II dialogues, and publishing policy-driven papers to inform the public debate on nuclear issues and the future of arms control. With renewed funding, ACA will continue its efforts to reduce nuclear risks by advancing nuclear strategic stability and arms control while also addressing new risks to nuclear security posed by emerging technologies.

Date
Jun. 05, 2025
Duration
24 months
Description
Over the past twenty years, The Hunt Institute has established itself as a key bipartisan resource on issues across the education continuum for policymakers. In 2021, The Hunt Institute established the Across the Aisle: Bridging the Education Divide initiative with the goal of identifying public priorities in education and translating them into actionable policies for states and districts. Through mediums such as polling, focus groups, and annual surveys, Across the Aisle has gathered opinions from parents, teachers, and others to produce an annual report on voter perception of educational issues across the nation. These research-driven insights inform agendas for the Institute’s various in-person and virtual convenings for education decisionmakers, including a biannual retreat for state education executives and their leadership teams to discuss the major challenges they are facing and develop solutions alongside other teams. With continued support from the Corporation, the Institute will produce two additional expanded cycles of Across the Aisle research and reporting.

Project Title
As a final general support grant
Date
Mar. 06, 2025
Duration
12 months
Description
Over the last twenty years, advancing educational outcomes for all students has moved from being perceived as the responsibility of educators and administrators alone to a responsibility that is owned collectively by the community. While many approaches have sought to bring together diverse organizations and individuals to work together differently for educational change, these efforts have made only incremental improvements. Collective Change Lab (CCL) was founded based on the belief that no single individual, intervention, or organization can effect deep change to our educational system, and scale that change, when acting alone. This final grant will allow CCL to further its work to elevate concrete examples of community-led change through research, communities of practice, leadership development, and changing the narrative.

Community sponsorship enables community members to directly support refugees and other forcibly displaced people through mentorship, social connections, and financial or in-kind contributions. It fosters long-term integration by connecting refugees with local groups committed to assisting them, often through co-sponsorship, where community organizations partner with resettlement agencies. Founded in 2021, the Community Sponsorship Hub (CSH) is the first organization in the United States solely dedicated to expanding community sponsorship. CSH has built a private sponsorship infrastructure and successfully welcomed refugees and Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) holders – including Afghans, Ukrainians, Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans. CSH’s humanitarian efforts are in collaboration with hundreds of local organizations and more than 160,000 American volunteers in all fifty states and Washington, D.C. With Corporation support, CSH will pair 1,000 refugee cases with sponsors and continue to engage diverse groups across ideology to promote and expand public support for refugees and SIV holders.

For support to the Vienna Center for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation
Date
Jun. 05, 2025
Duration
24 months
Description
Key international organizations that support the global nonproliferation regime are under-resourced and many low income-states lack the capacity to train and educate their diplomats in issues related to nonproliferation. Addressing these gaps is especially important amid geopolitical instability and rapidly advancing technologies, which place significant strain on existing arms control, disarmament, and nonproliferation frameworks. With renewed support, the Vienna Center for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation (VCDNP) will continue to work to fill these gaps through training, research, and dialogue and equip the next-generation of diplomats and practitioners with the tools to address nuclear risks.
