Direct beneficiaries per year: 2,922 students

Geographic areas served: Los Angeles

Programs: Fulfillment Fund helps open the eyes of young people who may otherwise not consider college as a possibility. Our unique model includes two primary service lines: College Access programs and College Success programs, which together empower students to not only access and afford higher education, but also to graduate college successfully, build crucial life skills and start a career. At our core, we empower high school students and their families to build a path to college through hands-on, wraparound support services inside schools, equipping kids with the tools necessary to choose institutions, complete applications, and navigate the admissions process. We also help our students overcome their unique financial, cultural, and educational barriers to achievement, and we stick with them from the application process through college graduation. Finally, we build networks of mentors, family members and support systems focused on bolstering our students’ academic and post-graduation career success. Our vision is that all students, regardless of circumstances, will one day have the opportunity to attend college, graduate, and actively participate in transforming their communities and creating a better society.
