Partner Spotlight: EVERFI from Blackbaud
Since 2018, Group 1001 has worked with EVERFI from Blackbaud, the leader in powering social impact through education to bring hands-on STEM teaching to classrooms nationwide and inspire the next generation of scientists, mathematicians, and engineers. Together, we have developed a community-empowerment program that helps build brighter futures.
Over the course of five years, Group 1001 has helped ensure real-world skills are brought to classrooms across the country by sponsoring eight key digital curricula designed for grade school through high school students. Group 1001’s school programs have impacted 260,000+ students across 3,990 classrooms.
“We are delighted to work with Group 1001 and applaud their longtime commitment to bringing this critical education to so many students across the U.S.,” said Ellen Patterson, President and Chief Impact Officer, EVERFI from Blackbaud. “Through the wide range of programs Group 1001 provides students, focused on everything from financial health to career exploration to character development, they're shaping positive outcomes for students and communities for years to come."
Classes covered financial education, career exploration, health and wellness, social-emotional learning, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. Each course was designed to help students develop a combination of knowledge, confidence, and healthy habits. Through pre- and post-assessments, students showed improved knowledge and increased confidence to take on new mindsets and skills.
During the 2022-2023 school year, Group 1001 and EVERFI set a goal to be in 225 schools across eight key markets. By year-end, Group 1001’s sponsorship achieved 137% of the annual partnership goal, exceeding 300 schools. There are currently nearly 20,000 active students for a combined 32,000 hours of learning. Sponsored markets included South Florida, Chicago, DC/Maryland/Virginia, New Jersey, California, Austin, Portland, and Indianapolis.
The impact of Group 1001 extends beyond the classroom. In 2022, EVERFI and Group 1001 hosted a classroom visit with Orange High School students in Orange, NJ. Students had the opportunity to participate in a financial trivia game and hear directly from Group 1001's Chief of Sponsorship Strategy and Activations, Mike Nichols. In October 2022, Group 1001 showed its appreciation to a group of Miami-Dade County and Broward County public school teachers by hosting them at a Miami Dolphins game.
A Broward County high school teacher gave praise, “Thank you to Group 1001 for this incredible experience. I enjoyed the opportunity to network with others who teach similar classes and use the same EVERFI lessons. It’s nice to know our efforts and our students’ hard work don’t go unnoticed.”
Group 1001 will continue providing critical skills education to thousands of students this academic year and beyond. Read the full summary here.
