Our 2017 Impact Report features the stories of how we’re working together with our partners to create economic opportunity, improve public health, and inspire civic engagement and service.

Our programs have grown in unique ways through the years – ranging from helping farmers in Africa increase their yields and incomes to mobilizing relief efforts in the wake of natural disasters; from confronting public health crises such as the opioid epidemic and childhood obesity to combating the effects of climate change in the Caribbean through clean and renewable energy efforts. We’re also committed to cultivating a diverse, new generation of leaders who are creating meaningful change on college campuses and in communities across the country and around the world.
