#ICYMI: Crimsonbridge Foundation CEO Danielle M. Reyes shares how the foundation's team goes beyond the grant to form strategic partnerships and create change, as part of the Exponent Philanthropy Catalytic Philanthropy Podcast series. Read about (and listen to) all THREE episodes here: https://lnkd.in/e-4gMHxU
"Our founder is passionate about #Catholic education for many reasons, seeing benefits including 95% high school #graduation rates. She felt the Hispanic community was not getting to participate in that, although the majority of school-aged Catholics are of Hispanic and Latino identities. So we asked, why is the enrollment rate [in Catholic schools] only 10% Hispanic? Let's assume that it's not just about scholarship needs.” shares Danielle M. Reyes in the recent Exponent Philanthropy Catalytic Philanthropy Podcast episode. "We now have more than 50 schools in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington, Catholic Diocese of Arlington, and Archdiocese of Philadelphia doing #Bridges4Schools. We have #schools that have done 6 years of work, and completely re-vamped and built their capacity to serve and engage students." READ: https://lnkd.in/e-4gMHxU LISTEN: https://lnkd.in/eM-ACjPe

I gained confidence stepping into a room of very highly qualified peers and cultivating a sense of belonging.
