December 2023: End-of-Year Reflections

Originally sent by Mindy Wright on December 19, 2023. This archived newsletter includes announcements and deadlines from that time.

Since The Upward Project’s founding six years ago, your investment has supported us in closing the opportunity and wealth gap by providing the Scholars we serve with the social, cultural, and financial capital needed to say “YES!” to experiences that are aligned with creating an equitable pathway to competitive careers. Thank you for your generous investment in our collective work.

The best way to know our program is working is to hear it directly from our Scholars:

Our accomplishments and Phuong’s reflection make the case for TUP’s individualized, wrap-around programming. We are breaking down barriers through the deep and deliberate relationships we are building with our Scholars to ensure they feel valued, connected, and empowered to become leaders in their sectors and community.

We ask that you prioritize TUP in your 2023 planned giving to ensure our continued growth and ability to build capacity. Please consider contributing to The Upward Project movement to reach our $100,000 annual appeal goal.

Thank you for believing that we have the power to disrupt the racial wealth gap in Boston.
