New Developments at the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation
$120 Million in Growth Capital Secured to Advance Opportunities for Low-Income Youth
Twenty-two co-investors have joined Edna McConnell Clark Foundation and the board of directors of Nurse-Family Partnership, Youth Villages, and Citizen Schools to support the dramatic expansion of services for young people shown to improve the life trajectories of economically disadvantaged youth and young adults. In her June 2008 letter, EMCF President Nancy Roob discusses the progress made so far by the Foundation on its Growth Capital Aggregation Pilot. This effort is a new collaborative approach to aggregating growth capital up-front in order to support the dramatic expansion for three high-performing grantees. If the pilot succeeds, these three organizations will be poised to reach a scale that will help solve some of our nation's most intractable social–and human–problems.

EMCF President Nancy Roob Announces New Growth Capital Aggregation Pilot
The Edna McConnell Clark Foundation is experimenting with a new collaborative approach to aggregating growth capital up-front to support the dramatic expansion of a few of our most successful grantees. In a letter highlighting the developments of 2007, President Nancy Roob talks about the Foundation's efforts to help three organizations poised to improve the life trajectories of at-risk youth and young adults on a scale that will help solve some of our nation's most intractable social–and human–problems.
