3 DEDICATION

Dear Alumni, Friends and Parents,

Through the work of our talented staff, dedicated partners, and devoted National Board of Directors, 2019 was a strong year for A Better Chance. The progress we made created opportunities for nearly 500 talented students to reach their highest potential.

For nearly 60 years, A Better Chance has been a preeminent force of change in our society. Through the incredible educational opportunities available through our program, the trajectory of over 16,500 lives has been altered. In 2019, 471 additional Scholars were placed at one of our 329 highly competitive Member Schools with $18.2 million in financial aid leveraged for their educations. Our devoted team made these placements possible while continuing to support the currently enrolled 2,206 Scholar community by providing summer enrichment opportunities, internships and leadership development workshops.

We extend our thanks and appreciation to Sandra E. Timmons for her tireless leadership as President of the organization over the past sixteen years. While Sandra concluded her tenure in January 2020, her impact will long be felt. The 8,432 Scholars who matriculated to A Better Chance during her tenure, are a testament to her legacy as a champion of educational access and diversity in our nation.

This annual report is dedicated to our resilient Scholars who are still valiantly pursuing transformative educational opportunities in the face of adversity. Their work is not in vain. One day, our talented students will become the leaders our society desperately needs and help form a more equitable society for all.

Introduced in 2016, the 1963 Society recognizes donors who contribute annually $5,000 or more. 1963 was a year of significance for the Civil Rights movement and the origins of our organization. In the summer of 1963, 23 headmasters of selective independent schools decided to come together, unified and resolute to change the profiles and compositions of their student bodies. A year later, 55 African American ninth and tenth graders gathered at Dartmouth College for an eight-week preparatory tutorial to enter private schools. Known then as PROJECT ABC: A Better Chance, the program became a mighty success. Today, A Better Chance continues in that pursuit with our mission to increase substantially the number of well-educated young people of color who are capable of assuming positions of responsibility and leadership in American society.

Thanks to the generosity of supporters like you, A Better Chance has been able to continue the hard work of making our mission a reality. In 2019, we accomplished so much, placing over 470 new Scholars and marking yet another year where 99% of our seniors matriculated into college.

Yet, like many organizations, A Better Chance relies on the investments of our community to perform our critical work. Since 1963, nearly 17,000 students graduated from one of our Member Schools and went on to become leaders and changemakers in our society.

We need your support to continue opening the doors to opportunity for talented young students of color nationwide.
