nsoro Educational Foundation
Fostering Futures
Founded in 2005, the nsoro Educational Foundation bridges the gap from foster care to a self-sufficient adulthood by equipping those they serve with the tools they need to succeed.
Its scholarship program helps scholars achieve post-secondary credentials by closing tuition gaps and covering housing, food, and transportation costs. Going a step further, nsoro “future proofs” its youth by connecting them with trauma-informed mentors, executive-level coaching, and apprenticeship and internship opportunities so that they are workforce ready, financially fluent, and healthy young adults.
The nonprofit now impacts lives in 31 states, with remarkable results: 81% of nsoro scholars graduate from college compared to the 4% national average of their former foster youth peers.
After a fundraising consulting engagement with Coxe Curry in 2019, nsoro returned to the firm in 2021 to leverage our newly launched Interim Solutions service for day-to-day development and fundraising needs. We placed a contract associate on the ground to work as their interim development manager, where they focused on grant writing, grant reporting, stewardship, database management, board engagement, and fundraising event support.
Over the course of 2+ years, additional interim associates partnered with nsoro on annual fundraising and growing their engagement with donors and supporters—helping the organization widen its reach and get to greater impact.
