Staying Connected

Lonnie Smith · January 27, 2023

As we start a new year, many of us make resolutions about what we would like to improve. As an organization, the new year gives us a chance to reflect on what we did well and what we can improve. As we work on this internally, we also will be reaching out to many of you as partners, clients, and stakeholders in our work together. We thank you in advance for your participation and help us further our mission by taking time to complete our requests so we can be better at what we do and empower more individuals to get on the road to success.

Next month, the University of New Hampshire Carsey School of Impact Finance will conclude its review of our program and impact results funded in part by anonymous generous private individuals from Texas. This will help us better tell our story about the effectiveness of our program as well as learn ways we can improve. We also are working with Chrysalis Lab, a research-based firm in Atlanta that is conducting community-based research on car purchasing behaviors funded by the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation. In addition to these studies and research, as a part of the inaugural Stand Together Foundation Catalyst Impact Partner program, we are making a commitment to participate in one of the largest transformation measurement programs where client participation will be necessary. 

We will be asking for your support and voice through surveys. Let us know how we can improve, how you want us to communicate with you, what’s important to you, and how our program has impacted you. These surveys will target clients, funders, investors, supporters.  Don’t feel limited to these surveys to let us know how we are doing or how we can improve. You can always follow us on Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn. Just click on any of the icons below.

Thank you for staying connected. We’re excited about the new year!
