Best "Faith"-Based Giving Results

AISD College Readiness Program Funded by the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation

The Michael and Susan Dell Foundation had faith in the concept that if you offer the right tools and support, more children from AISD College Readiness Program's target populations (first-generation college students, minority groups, students with special learning needs, students with limited English proficiency, etc.) could truly have faith in their greater likelihood of being able to attend college. The district's first-year results were extraordinary: 25% increase in seniors taking the SAT, 575% increase in parents attending school financial aid workshops, 59% increase in seniors applying to postgraduate schools, and a 55% increase in the amount of scholarships awarded. Now that's what we call Good Faith-Based Giving.
