Outcomes, not activity
Outcomes are measured 12 and 24 months after program exit by an independent evaluation partner. Where a target was missed, the gap is stated plainly.
| Outcome measured | Target | Result | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Families still housed 24 months after rehousing | 85% | 87% | Met |
| Career Launch graduates employed at 12 months | 75% | 79% | Met |
| Median starting wage for graduates | $22.00 | $23.80 | Met |
| Pantry households reporting food security at 12 months | 70% | 66% | Below target |
| Bright Path students promoted on time | 92% | 94% | Met |
| Emergency grant decisions within 48 hours | 90% | 91% | Met |
| Households building $500 in emergency savings | 70% | 68% | Below target |

Food security at 12 months came in four points under target. Our evaluation points to pantry hours in two rural regions and a gap in benefits enrollment follow-up. In FY2026 we are adding eight Saturday sites and a dedicated enrollment navigator in each region.
We closed a financial literacy classroom series after two years of flat results. The $340,000 it consumed now funds one-on-one coaching and matched savings accounts, which moved the savings metric 22 points in its first year.
Stories
Names are shared with permission. Photographs are representative.
Andre changed schools four times in two years while his mother moved between relatives. Bright Path kept him at the same tutoring site through all four moves. He graduated in the top quarter of his class and started at Georgia State this fall on a $4,200 RobinHood scholarship.
After a restaurant closure took both household incomes, Kim enrolled in Career Launch logistics training while her husband picked up night shifts. She now coordinates inbound freight for a regional distributor at $26.10 an hour. Household income is up 71% since intake.
A hospitalization put Denise $3,100 behind and an eviction on the docket. Our staff attorney negotiated a payment plan the same week, and Safety Net cleared the arrears. Three years on, she is in the same unit, with a matched savings account and no missed payments.
How we measure
Every program collects intake data, exit data and two follow-ups. Where it is ethical and possible, new programs run against a comparison group before we scale them. Nothing gets published without an outside reviewer signing off.

“RobinHood was the first funder that asked us what we already knew about our own neighborhood, instead of arriving with the answer. Then they published the results — including the quarter we missed.”
