Perhaps the best part about producing an impact report is it forces you to really take a step back and
look at everything your organization was able to accomplish over the past year. Thanks to overwhelming
community support, together, we are proud to say that we truly delivered on our mission of supporting
students and their academic achievement.

As you flip through this report, you’ll view our efforts in key areas of impact such as mentoring, career
readiness, scholarships, school supplies & resources and educator recognition & development. Beyond the
statistics and graphics, you’ll read the stories of teens like Matthew, a Take Stock in Children scholarship
recipient who will be first in his family to attend college. Or Ms. Harris, a teacher who receives critical
school supplies to give to her students from our Teaching Tools Store each month. Stories like these are
the embodiment of HEF’s mission. Examples of what our community’s future can be when it invests in
education.

We remain steadfast in our mission to make certain every student has the tools they need to succeed
academically. Your support is transforming our community for the better; putting at-risk students on a
path to high-school graduation, and ultimately creating a better future for themselves. According to the
Alliance for Excellent Education, increasing the national graduation rate to 90% would boost the annual
gross domestic product by $11.5 billion and annual earnings by $7.2 billion. This aligns perfectly with our
vision and full support of Hillsborough County Public Schools' strategic priority of a 90% graduation rate
by 2020. Your support is an investment in our future workforce and a better Tampa Bay community.

We thank our tremendous volunteers, donors, board members and staff for joining us on this journey to
give students every opportunity possible to reach academic success and their highest potential.

As we enter our 30th year supporting Hillsborough County students, we look forward to continued growth
– both in students impacted and operational efficiency – so we can be the best stewards of our resources
that we can possibly be.

Sincerely,

with mentoring & college scholarships
In 2016-17, our supporters helped us put 354 Hillsborough County Public School students on the path
to high-school graduation with scholarships and mentoring. At-risk students enter into the
Foundation's Take Stock in Children program as early as middle school. They are matched with
caring, adult mentors – to help guide them on their journey to success – and receive a college
scholarship upon graduation. We also awarded community scholarships, funded by our generous
donors, to high-school seniors.

with school supplies
Basic school supplies may not be in the family budget for many HCPS students – 64 percent of the
district's 200,000-plus students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. So, many teachers spend more
than $500 per year out of their own pockets on school supplies for their students*. That's where the
Foundation's Teaching Tools Store comes in. In 2016-17, nearly 3,000 teachers at the county's 140 Title
1 schools visited the Store to stock up on much-needed free school supplies for their students.

  92% of local teachers say access to free school supplies positively impacts classroom participation**
