2017 ANNUAL REPORT
Jeremiah Program 2017 Annual Report | 1 Dear Friends,
2017 was a dynamic year for Jeremiah Program. In addition to building on our strong outcomes for mothers and children in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota and Boston, Massachusetts, we opened an expanded campus in Austin, Texas; finished construction on our campus in Fargo, North Dakota; welcomed our first cohort of mothers to our new program in the Brownsville neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York; and secured land and lead gifts to build a residential campus in Rochester, Minnesota. We are so proud of how far we have come.
This year marks our 20th year of successfully transforming families out of poverty. When Jeremiah Program began in 1998, we started with 18 families. Over the past twenty years, we are proud to say that we have helped hundreds of single mothers graduate with a college degree and family-sustaining wages while preparing their kids to excel in school. To date, we have touched the lives of nearly 3,500 women and children, providing them with the resources they need to set themselves on a path to prosperity.
Our work is needed more now than ever. Almost 10 million single parent families headed by women live in the country and more than 18 million children of single mothers are living in poverty (US Census). With the rise of single motherhood, demographers now estimate that 50% of all American children will live with a single mother before turning 18 and 70% of children raised by single mothers live in poverty. With families facing deep barriers to achieving social and economic prosperity, our services are critical to help single mothers and their children reach their highest potential.
As we continue to build on our strong foundation and position Jeremiah Program for the next two decades, we are hard at work making plans for the future and strengthening our impact on families. We are in the midst of developing a new strategic plan and business framework for further scaling our important program and look forward to sharing the highlights of the plan with you this fall. As part of our 20th year celebration, we will also convene a one-day leadership summit this fall to inspire open dialogue and visionary thinking around two-generation solutions for helping families escape the cycle of poverty, permanently.
Thank you for your partnership and support over the last 20 years. Your contributions fill us with hope as we build our 20/20 vision for Jeremiah Program’s future and for our communities across the country.
Kim Vanderwall Gloria Perez BOARD CHAIR PRESIDENT & CEO

“I managed to overcome the dire poverty that was staring me down as my obvious future as a 17-year-old single mom. I have been lucky and it seems imperative to be able to say that I can help somebody else too.”

Jeremiah Program 2016 Annual Report | 3 NATIONAL Featured Donor Story
ECMC Group and ECMC Foundation’s strategic partnership with Jeremiah Program began in 2015 with one employee making a difference.
Sarah Strehl, Chief Human Resources Officer at ECMC Group, began volunteering her expertise to Jeremiah’s Human Resources Committee and matched her generosity of time with her personal giving. Her commitment and belief in our program grew.
In 2017, we received an ECMC Foundation GO! Program grant based on Sarah’s nomination. The program involves all ECMC Group employees and recognizes and supports organizations that align with the Foundation’s mission to inspire and to facilitate improvements that affect educational outcomes—especially among underserved populations—through evidence-based innovation.
Sarah continues to be a great ambassador for Jeremiah. She introduced us to her colleagues at ECMC Foundation, which led to a two-year grant that will support Jeremiah in two ways. The first is our exploration of a shorter-term career pathway model through which Jeremiah mothers can obtain the credentials they need to SARAH STREHL build and advance in a career that empowers them to reach their JEREMY WHEATON highest potential and secure family-sustaining wages. The second ECMC GROUP area of support is helping us develop more sophisticated financial modeling tools—in tandem with Jeremiah’s next strategic planning process—to integrate financial systems across the organization, guide business plan outputs, and inform strategic decisions around Jeremiah’s future program innovation and growth.
Sarah’s enthusiasm is contagious. Jeremy Wheaton, ECMC Group’s President and CEO, recently offered his financial expertise to our Finance Committee and, along with his family, volunteers on the Minneapolis campus.
This 360-degree support from ECMC Group and ECMC Foundation is remarkable. We are so grateful for their generosity of time and financial support that makes our work with determined single mothers and their children possible.

Jeremiah Program 2017 Annual Report | 11 AUSTIN, TX 2017 Highlights
2017 was a banner year for our Austin program!
We opened our newly constructed campus in April, expanding our service capacity to 39 families. Since opening our new facility, we have welcomed 22 additional families into the program. We were thrilled to celebrate our first college graduates this year, as one inspiring mom completed her Bachelor’s Degree, and another completed her Associate’s Degree with plans to stay with Jeremiah Program as she pursues her Bachelor’s. Our 4th annual Epic Battle event raised over $200,000 with more than 200 people in attendance. We also received a $100,000 challenge grant in Spring 2017 from a local philanthropist to recruit additional supporters at the same level. We are proud to say that we successfully met this challenge and increased our fundraising by 31% overall from the previous year!

Jeremiah Program 20162017 Annual Report | 12 AUSTIN, TX Featured Family Story
Monica’s Story:
Monica came to Jeremiah Program as a single mother of a 2-year-old daughter who was working for a family business, attending college, living in her parents’ home, and relying upon her family for childcare. While the arrangements worked logistically, it created unhealthy family dynamics for her to parent in her own way. She felt like she needed to be in an emotionally healthier space to raise her daughter and complete her degree. She applied to Jeremiah Program and completed empowerment in 2017, and through the process she was able to build a foundation to break out of a co-dependent relationship with her parents while maintaining the relationship she wanted with her family. She built the confidence and self- esteem necessary to tell her parents what she needed to do for herself and her daughter.
Since becoming a resident in June 2017, Monica has flourished and has been successful in meeting all program requirements for education, life skills, and coaching; and her daughter Valerie has flourished in the child development center. Living independently from her family has allowed her to establish her parenting style and build a healthy relationship with her parents where they are supportive of her program participation. In addition, the capacity she built at Jeremiah Program allowed her to complete her degree program in fall 2017. She will spend the first half of 2018 focused on her transition into her career track job and living independently in the community.
“Monica has been a wonderful addition to our community and it has been a pleasure and an honor to watch her integrate the skills of empowerment as she identifies and accomplishes the goals she sets for herself and for her daughter, Valerie.”

Jeremiah Program 2017 Annual Report | 18 BOSTON Massachusetts
“As a relatively new mom, I have a desire to give my children every opportunity available. Jeremiah’s approach of breaking the cycle of poverty two generations at a time goes right to the heart of that sentiment. It’s also a wonderful way to contribute to a program that has an immediate, local impact.”
Rebecca Winnick Hammond, DONOR PATRICE WITH HER CHILDREN CHARLISE AND ASHTON JEREMIAH FAMILY, BOSTON
Jeremiah Program 2017 Annual Report | 19 BOSTON 2017 Highlights
Playdates, clothing swaps, and high spirits are evidence of the supportive community we’ve built among our families in Boston.
The Jeremiah sisterhood—bolstered by trusting relationships with their coaches—helps moms stay strong and determined when faced with obstacles to complete their college degree and transform their lives. In 2017, we celebrated the accomplishments of four inspiring single moms, who completed their Associates Degree at Endicott College Boston and have opted to remain in Jeremiah Program as they complete their Bachelor’s Degree in the coming years. We also hosted our first annual fundraiser, Voices Rising, where Jeremiah moms and community leaders bravely took the mic to share their stories—raising more than $75,000 for our Boston program!

Jeremiah Program 2017 Annual Report | 20 BOSTON Featured Volunteer Story
“I was inspired to get involved with Jeremiah because of a combination of the mission, strategy, and likelihood of success. The mission inspires me because while they seek to help single moms, Jeremiah values single moms. It is not an organization that demeans or underestimates its clients. The strategy is comprehensive. I’ve worked in non-profits since I was 16, and in various roles I’ve seen organizations implement one or two of Jeremiah’s pillars, but never the entire package. The fact that Jeremiah goes from all angles with its strategy inspires me. When I first heard about it, I thought, this could really work and change lives. When I met some of our moms I saw that my guess was true.
This program is what it takes to end poverty in our communities. This is the approach that’s needed. In order to fully respect and appreciate these moms, you have to take a holistic approach—otherwise you’re just a slave to the strategy. Jeremiah starts with the person, not just a report on a strategy that does well.”

“The more I learned, I knew there was no way I could not become involved with Jeremiah Program. Sometimes people just need a second chance. They need to feel that they have self-worth and that they are important. This is what Jeremiah does. It supports these women through empowerment classes to help their self- esteem, through life skills classes and mentoring.”

Jeremiah Program 2017 Annual Report | 33 MINNEAPOLIS-SAINT PAUL Minnesota
“It’s special. Any time that you have a positive impact on families or other people, it’s rewarding and humbling. It reminds me a lot of where I come from. I think that’s the biggest thing - never losing sight of who you are as a person and where you come from, and always being appreciative of the opportunities presented to you, and when those opportunities do present themselves, to take advantage of them.”
ANTHONY BARR Anthony Barr, DONOR
Jeremiah Program 2017 Annual Report | 34 MINNEAPOLIS - SAINT PAUL 2017 Highlights
We are proud of what our families continue to accomplish 20 years after we first opened our doors in Minneapolis.
In 2017, we celebrated the strength and resolve of 19 Jeremiah Program graduate mothers—a new program record. Additionally, 26 Jeremiah preschoolers graduated from our child development centers (CDCs), prepared and excited for kindergarten. Due to growing demand, we also doubled the number of mothers who benefit from on-site mental health services on our St. Paul campus and trained all of our staff on trauma-informed care. To enhance employment-readiness among families, we further integrated these lessons into our coaching model so that mothers are better prepared to graduate from our program and launch successful careers.

“It’s been an incredibly rewarding opportunity to join the Jeremiah Program’s expansion effort in New York City. The model for impacting two generations at a time – empowering both mothers and children with foundations for success – is unique in its ability to bring durable change to both the families enrolled and the communities they’re a part of. It’s exciting to see this process in action and I look forward to the continued growth of the Brownsville Campus.”
