The $90,688 thank you note

You break down barriers to prosperity in Alabama with your volunteerism, philanthropy, and advocacy. We are overwhelmed with gratitude for the $90,688 that people like you gave to Alabama Possible this year.Your gifts mean we are more than 90 percent of the way to our goal of $100,000

You break down barriers to prosperity by helping your fellow Alabamians understand the causes and impacts of poverty through poverty simulations and the poverty data sheet.

You also directly touch the lives of tens of thousands of Alabama high school students by equipping them with tools and relationships to continue their education after high school and prepare for in-demand jobs. Your support of the Cash for College campaign helped Alabama achieve the nation’s fourth-highest increase in Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) completion and unlocked more than $70 million in Pell Grant aid.

You are making a measurable difference in this work. And yet there is so much more to do.

This year Alabama families left $47.4 million in grant aid on the table to pay for that education. Will you help every single Alabama high school student who wants to continue their education after high school complete their financial aid form so they can pay for it?

And will you give your neighbors a chance to experience what it is like to live at risk of poverty through participating in a poverty simulation or getting a copy of the Alabama Poverty Data Sheet?

Your contribution breaks down barriers to prosperity. The bigger the gift you make, the more lives you can impact.

Thank you,

Kristina Scott
Executive Director
Alabama Possible
