Give Kids a Chance Video describing the work of our organization.

On April 20th, the Young Professionals' Board (YPB) of the Bright Promises Foundation will host a special showing of the Tony Award-winning Musical, Billy Elliott, and an after-show party at the Wit Hotel to benefit the Foundation. Click here for more information.

The YPB is comprised of people who are interested in furthering the work and promoting the mission of the Foundation by lending their time and professional knowledge. YPB member Lisa Mayotte said, " I felt joining the YPB would be a great, fun and rewarding way to make a difference to this community and its children." Fellow YPB member Heather Felchle said she joined to "actually make a difference and give children the best future possible."

Our research has revealed that funders are often unaware of what is actually happening at the point of service for disadvantaged children. They tend to try to fund what they think is needed, rather than that which is actually needed. This results in ineffective funding and a distracts service providers from optimally serving the children.

Bright Promises Foundation conducts roundtables every four years of industry experts at the foundation, agency and center levels. The insights learned ensure the relevancy and importance of the need upon which the Bright Promises Foundation focuses, and the correct design of the programs deployed to meet these needs.
