Facts And Circumstances TestThe Alliance for Early Success (The Alliance), formerly known as Birth to Five Policy Alliance, in its first five years, has normally received at least 10% of its support from public sources. There have been several extraordinary contributions received in its first five years to help the founding and operations of The Alliance.In order to sustain and expand work, the Alliance conducts outreach activities to attract new investors and funds. This year two new private foundations contributed to the organization. These new donors are the result of positive word of mouth, personal referrals, goal attainment, and one-on-one informational meetings. This coming year the Alliance is identifying potential supporters who would not previously have been targets, but are now as a result of an expanded vision and grantmaking.The governing body of the Alliance is comprised of four highly qualified individuals that all serve in a voluntary capacity. Directors are selected based on the skills, expertise and experience needed to effectively oversee Alliance investments and accountability. All Directors are community leaders in their home regions, and are widely recognized as having great expertise as business, civic and/or philanthropic visionaries. Three directors have worked in early learning, one in K-12 education, two in family support and one served as an advisor to over six private foundations, many of whom work in areas related to those of the Alliance. Additionally, two directors are former public officials having served at the state level as Director of the Department of Health and Human Services and as mayor of Providence, RI, who made early learning a signature part of his administration.Alliance investments and activities benefit families and children across the country. Alliance grantee partners conduct research, policy analysis, communications, and advocacy to improve health, family, and learning outcomes for vulnerable children birth through age eight. Dissemination of information occurs through the Alliance listserv, website, twitter account, daily online newspaper, annual Partner Summit and through the 50 grantee partner individual networks. In total, the Alliance reach is over 25,000 individuals representing every state and 34 national expert organizations.FactsAndCircumstancesTestTxt
