A Look Ahead - 2025
College Knowledge Foundation
Proving high school students a starting point for college through numerous types of virtual sessions.
A Year of Growth and Gratitude
As we ring in the new year, we reflect on the incredible progress made in 2024. Thanks to your support, College Knowledge Foundation has had one of our most impactful years yet. Together, we’ve reached new heights, supported more students, and expanded our resources. Here’s a glimpse of what we’ve achieved:
In 2024, we saw a 35% increase in student engagement, reaching 1,900 high school students through our virtual and in-person sessions, a significant increase from the previous year. For 2025, we are on track to surpass that number and expect to engage with over 2,000 students as we continue to expand our reach!
Our fundraising efforts have also been tremendous. Through Zeffy, we raised $4,237 from 54 generous donors, and on Giving Tuesday, we exceeded our goal by raising $2,720—over double our initial target.
We were honored to receive a generous $3,500 grant from Foundations Community Partnership to support our efforts in the Bucks County area. This funding will allow us to expand our reach and provide even more students in the region with the tools and resources they need to navigate their college journeys. We are incredibly grateful for this partnership and excited about the positive impact it will have on students and families in Bucks County.
A Sneak Peek at 2025: What’s to Come
Our Growth: We’re focusing on enhancing the quality of support we provide to every student we interact with. In 2025, we aim to not only engage with over 2,000 students but also make a deeper impact by refining our resources and ensuring each student has the tools they need to succeed.
Free Sessions for All: Starting in 2025, we are excited to announce that our group sessions will be free for all students. This ensures that every student has access to valuable resources without financial barriers. For those seeking more personalized guidance, we will continue to offer 1-on-1 sessions at a nominal cost to support individual needs.
Programs and Partnerships: We’ve significantly revamped our offerings to ensure we continue meeting the evolving needs of our students and families. These updates include the introduction of new services and enhancements to our existing ones. Check out our updated service page here: https://www.collegeknowledgefoundation.org/services-1.
