Shaping a Brighter Future

"Shaping a Brighter Future"—the theme of our 2021 annual report—highlights the ultimate measure of our programs: their ability to empower thousands of individuals each year to shape a brighter future for themselves and their communities. It also speaks to our impact—past and future—as we marked our 70th year.
