First steps. First words. First friends. First day of kindergarten.

First time mastering a tricky math problem. First leadership role in a group project.

Because of you, we celebrate thousands of milestones every year — the big ones and the small ones that matter just as much.
These moments don’t happen by accident. They happen because people like you invest in quality early education, enriching after-school programs, and teen leadership development. Your generosity creates the foundation for over 1,000 children and teens to reach milestones that lead to bigger and better tomorrows.

Thank you for making these moments possible.

Behind every number is a real child. A real family. A real future.

This year, with your support: Over 1,000 children and families found a place that said "Yes." 96% of our children are entering kindergarten ready to thrive.170+ teens discovered skills and confidence they didn't know they had. 48 families received support during the most formative time.

Our mixed-income model means economic circumstances never determine a child's access to quality education—but it only works because of people who believe every child deserves excellence.

Every number represents a life changed. Check out more at concordiaplace.org/annual-report/

Because of you, over 1,000 children, teens, and families have a place that believes in their potential.

As the school year is ending, we’re taking a moment to say thank you — to our supporters, partners, and advocates who make everything we do possible.

Because of you, 61% of our families who are financially under-resourced have access to the same high-quality education as everyone else. Because of you, economic circumstances never determine a child’s access to excellence.

Thank you for helping make bigger tomorrows possible.
