Graduate Success Program

When no grant application was received by June 2023, the Foundation made a "renewal grant" for the program for which funding had been provided in the previous year. For more information about the program, see the Grants Section of the 2021-22 Dater Foundation Annual Report on this web site and/or go to the grantee organization's web site.

Program Results:

No formal Grant Evaluation Report was submitted with results for the program. This “Success Narrative” was submitted in January 2024.

The funds received from the Dater Foundation have been used to assist our college-going alumni with financial needs. Our Graduate Success Fund is designated to serve our college-going alumni financially but also to support them emotionally as they navigate the challenges of college. All of our alumni are from low-income families, most are first-generation college students who don't have support from their families. Since 2017, 77% of alumni who received funding from the program have either graduated or are persisting in college working towards their degree.
DPCR graduates are graduating college at 2X's the rate of their low-income peers
Since July 1, 2023, 63 alums have been awarded $84, 337.00. $35,000 from the Foundation is part of the awards. The majority of funds (95% have been disbursed to help cover tuition gaps and 5% have helped cover books).

Thanks to the Foundation for the support of this very important program.
