Each year, we celebrate our accomplishments in an annual Impact Report, where we pause, reflect, and celebrate everything that we’ve achieved together with our partner organizations and with the support of individual donors like you.
Our Impact Report this year is more detailed, wide-ranging, and beautiful than ever. It features many highlights from the past year, including:
