In 2014, Communities In Schools nationwide served nearly 1.5 million students in 25 states and the District of Columbia. The focus for the year was on improving quality of service and increasing growth across the CIS network.
According to CIS, “Quality drives quantity at CIS. Instead of expanding into new communities in 2014, we focused on going deep by adding more than 150,000 new students within our existing network. For an organization of our size, an annual growth rate above 10% is pretty astounding, and it speaks to the hard work and dedication of the entire network.”
Among the successes of CIS in 2014:
• For the first time ever, The NonProfit Times named CIS to its Top 100 list of the largest nonprofit organizations in the United States.
• To help put a face on the dropout crisis, CIS launched Change the Picture, its first-ever nationwide branding campaign that earned nearly $14 million in pro bono ad placements in just six months.
• At the close of a three-year capital growth campaign in 2014, CIS was able to invest $30 million into the CIS network, helping to leverage an additional $600 million in local resources for our affiliates.
