America’s Promise Alliance was founded in 1997 by five U.S. Presidents and General Colin Powell. After a quarter century, America’s Promise Alliance is at a pivotal and exciting stage in its evolution, launching a comprehensive next chapter and new strategy. Our Alliance is a community of the leading non-profits working in K-12 education, postsecondary to workforce pathways, and democracy and civic engagement. All member organizations enroll their CEO and executive teams in our community. Over the last two years, 100 organizations and 500+ leaders have joined us in this effort. We add annual value to these organizations by helping them improve, through an integrated model of leadership development, knowledge sharing, and capacity building. Senior leaders of our member organizations build trust, relationships and the habits for working together and consistently reinforce the practical benefits of sharing and collaboration across organizations. We then use the “culture of the collective” in our community to ideate, design and launch multi-organization collaborations, focused on opportunities in our issue areas that are too large or too complex for any one organization to address on its own.
