In the pages that follow, Kingmakers of Oakland is delighted to present our third Annual Report. This report provides an in-depth overview of our activities, achievements, and financial performance over the past year. Throughout 2023 we remained steadfast in our commitment to create the systems, structures, culture, and conditions that nurture the beauty, brilliance and innate greatness within Black boys, in collaboration with our partner communities. Despite landscape changes in public K-12 education, the economy, and the national climate regarding efforts toward equity and inclusion, Kingmakers of Oakland has continued to say ‘yes’ where others say ‘no’. As an organization anchored in and fueled by our values – King-centered, Partnership, Collective will, African-Centered, and Love – we have maintained an unwavering commitment to our ambitious goal of improving educational and life outcomes for Black youth. We are constantly leveraging our values, harnessing the impact of our innovative strategies, and forging powerful, proximate partnerships that make a difference for Black youth. Our 2023 achievements are the manifestation of our values, the consistent dedication of our team, the generous support of our donors, and the resilience of our community partners. Together we achieved notable successes in student impact, educator leadership, financial stewardship, and organizational growth and development. |
