HELPING YOUNG PEOPLE IN FOSTER CARE CREATE THE LIFE THEY WANT.

Our vision

FROM OUR CEO

We envision a community in which every young person from foster care gets the education, career, and life they want for themselves.

MATT BELL PIVOTAL CEO

Our mission

We support young people in and from foster care to realize their educational and career goals and ensure their equitable access to opportunity.

This year was filled with exciting and positive changes for Pivotal! I transitioned into the CEO role in January 2023, and I am incredibly grateful to our Board of Directors, former CEO Elise Cutini, and the Pivotal staff for their tremendous support this year.

Our scholars continued to thrive in 2023. With the support of their dedicated Pivotal coaches, and our breadth of professional development, scholarship, and internship programs, outcomes for our young people are improving and returning to pre-pandemic levels.

For our high school scholars, we are seeing higher levels of engagement, higher average GPAs, and more graduates matriculating into college. Similarly, at the post-secondary level, we’re seeing more transfers and bachelor’s degrees and more scholars in internships, which provide critical professional development experience and networking opportunities. Our most valued measure of success is the feedback from our youth and when surveyed, 92% of our scholars say they would recommend Pivotal to other foster youth. While we celebrate our scholars and successes, we know there’s still work to be done. A child enters the foster care system every 2.6 minutes in the United States, and these young people need our support and guidance to find their path to success.

This year, Chelsey Souza and Candice Chung joined our Executive team as Chief Development Officer and Chief Financial & Operating Officer respectively, and we added two members to our Board of Directors: Nkia Richardson and Pattie Cortese. As we welcomed this new talent, we remained focused on our strategic plan, Pivotal on the Move. We have made strong progress in each of the three pillars of the plan – expanding to new counties, serving students earlier, and advocating for policy changes to support foster youth. We expanded our services to Alameda County and started serving our first cohort of middle schoolers in Santa Clara County.

We also continued to build the Foster Youth Pre-College Collective (tFYPC), a partnership formed by Pivotal and five other organizations serving foster youth in California. In 2024, the tFYPC will launch its report, Destination Graduation, proposing dramatic policy changes for the State of California in its service of foster youth.

Whether you are a community stakeholder, individual donor, foundation, or friend, thank you for your partnership with Pivotal! Your support and collaboration have a tremendous impact on the youth we serve and help us in our life-changing mission.

of Pivotal scholars would recommend Pivotal to other foster youth

Pivotal never determined how my path should look and was patient when unexpected twists and turns unfolded. They reminded me what I am capable of when I forgot and made sure I felt connected to the Pivotal family, even 600 miles away.

Last year, Denisse graduated with honors from San Francisco State University. We’re so proud of everything she’s accomplished, knowing all she had to overcome to get here. Denisse loved school all her life. It was a sanctuary, a place to escape from the violence and anger she often faced at home.

“

School was my home where I had friends, and there weren’t any bad things.

Denisse’s father was abusive and when it got to be too much, she finally reported him through her school who then notified the police. Her dad was arrested but was soon out on bail and Denisse had to go back to living with him. One night, her dad woke her up at 2 a.m. and told her to pack her suitcase. He was sending her back to Mexico. Denisse was terrified. When they got to the airport, she waited for her chance to run away but he was watching her closely. Once she went through security, she was on her own and knew she couldn’t get on the plane.

“I started crying – I just didn’t know what to do. A janitor asked me what was wrong, and I told him what happened. He told me that in the U.S., there were programs to take care of kids who needed help.”

Denisse was able to escape from the airport, but she knew she couldn’t go back to her father. She had nowhere to go and became unhoused, but continued going to school, working hard to find her place in the world. Eventually, she was placed in foster care. A friend introduced her to Pivotal where she found a support system she could count on.

Denisse started working with a Pivotal coach who helped her get an internship at Kaiser. The Pivotal team made sure she was well prepared by empowering her with professional development skills like how to write a strong resume and interview for jobs. That’s when she got a glimpse of the future she could make for herself. Denisse is now planning to get her master’s degree.

“I want to be a mentor so I can tell others that they can do it. I don’t want any foster youth to hate themselves for their past. I want to be a little spark of hope for them – so they can see that I could do it and so can they. The world is yours if you are willing to take it.

– Denisse, Pivotal Alum, Class of 2023

CONNECTING WITH PIVOTAL CHANGED MY LIFE

Growing up, my mother raised me and my three sisters on her own. My dad was in and out of jail. We lived in the car, slept on couches and on people’s floors for a long time until the day we entered foster care. Whenever something bad happened to my family, my parents would blame me. I felt like I was a burden and I was always anxious. I didn’t feel accepted. I can’t say that I was a victim of my parents’ abuse without acknowledging that they too were victims of a society they didn’t feel accepted in. I went into foster care partially because of physical and emotional abuse but mostly because of poverty.

School was always an escape for me, and I eventually graduated and started at community college. I was scrounging to get by, using the food pantry and just trying to find whatever resources I could. Then the pandemic hit and things got even worse. But I worked hard and eventually transferred to San Jose State University. That was when my social worker connected me with Pivotal.

– Anjru, Pivotal Alum, Class of 2023

I was awarded a Pivotal scholarship and was matched with a coach who helped me navigate my college journey. The scholarship they gave me was helpful, but the support, mentorship, and knowledge they bestowed on me was priceless.

Growing up, I felt like no one was on my side and the expectations of what I could accomplish were very low. Pivotal believed in me and saw my potential. They propelled me forward and said “Go get ‘em. We know what you’re capable of and you have a bright future ahead of you.”

I graduated from San Jose State University with virtually no debt and a degree in Political Science. Today, I’m married. I work with an amazing community-based organization and I’m considering pursuing a master’s in public policy as well as a degree in law. I’m content and grateful for everything that’s happened to me.

I need to share this gratitude by helping my sisters, my family, and my community. Two of my sisters are still in Pivotal’s programs and I’m so glad that they have the same support I had, coaches who believe in what they can accomplish, and support and resources when they need them. Pivotal is helping my family break the cycles of poverty and abuse in our family and for that I am truly grateful.

GENERAL & ADMIN

THE HEART OF OUR WORK

At Pivotal, individualized coaching will always be the heart of our work. We offer foster youth many other services, from scholarships and professional development to laptops and emergency assistance. But coaching is the most critical resource we provide, helping our scholars focus on their education and work toward successful careers.

STAFF SPOTLIGHT: MIGUEL BONILLA

I was working as a mental health aid and had been considering making a change. When I saw that Pivotal was hiring, it felt like divine timing. As a former foster youth myself, I remembered the support I needed to graduate high school and apply to college. I had no idea how many resources were available to me. When you don’t have someone to point you in the right direction, it’s overwhelming.

Being a coach is a great opportunity for me to help others who are in similar situations and need encouragement and support. I love sharing my life and my experiences with the scholars I coach, particularly the young women I work with. I try to relate to them and be the mentor that I didn’t have growing up. It can be hard to understand what resources are available for foster youth and I know how much harder it would be for my students if they didn’t have help.

My experience helps inform my work and relate to the students I coach. It also sometimes helps me give context and perspective to my colleagues, who

Pivotal coaches are more than mentors. They provide resources, help with college and career exploration, and track each student’s academic progress to help them stay on track. And, just as important, our coaches are cheerleaders for our scholars, helping them celebrate the wins - big and small.

may not have lived experience in foster care. I can leverage my firsthand knowledge to help my team understand how difficult it can be for young people who are trying to find their way and figure out their identity beyond foster care.

These students face so many moving dynamics. We must understand them, but at the same time, we can’t treat them as victims, or as people we need to ‘save.’ They are bright, competent, young adults, and our job is to help them along their path, not dictate what they should do. Too often, that power is taken away from foster youth. At Pivotal, they decide where they want to go; we help them find the path to their goals and make that path as smooth as possible.

WELCOME ABOARD

In 2023, we welcomed two new members to the Pivotal Board of Directors: Nkia Richardson and Pattie Cortese.

Nkia Richardson began her legal career as a dependency attorney representing children and parents in cases of child abuse and neglect. She is currently the Executive Director of CASA of San Mateo County.

“Through my work at CASA, and as a former dependency court attorney, I know just how crucial Pivotal’s services are, and I am impressed by the team’s thoughtful and strategic approach to achieving the organization’s mission,” says Nkia. “It’s a privilege and an honor to be a part of an organization that is so deeply committed to the success and well-being of youth in foster care.”

Pattie Cortese began her career with Catholic Charities in their Vocational Learning and Treatment Center, working to help chronically mentally ill adults gain skills and employment. She has been active in youth mentoring programs since 1994.

“I worked in mentoring programs for nearly 25 years with at-risk youth and foster youth have always had a special place in my heart,” says Pattie. “As my husband State Senator Dave Cortese says, foster youth are the State’s children, which means they are the children of all of us. I’m looking forward to working with the Pivotal team to provide the support these young people need to blossom.”

“Nkia and Pattie both bring valuable experience, resources, and lifelong commitments to young people in our community and we’re excited to have their perspectives on the Pivotal team,” says Mike Saviage, Pivotal Board President.

PARTNER SPOTLIGHTS

SOBRATO PHILANTHROPIES

One of Pivotal’s most steadfast supporters, Sobrato Philanthropies, has provided more than $2.5 million in funding over the years to support our post-secondary programs, emergency assistance fund, and general operations. We are honored to be selected for a $500,000, multi-year grant from Sobrato Philanthropies support our work over the next two years.

“We support Pivotal because they see foster youth as whole humans and enable these young people to craft the life they want,” says Hana Ma, Senior Program Officer at Sobrato Philanthropies. “By combining direct service and policy advocacy, Pivotal partners with schools, counties, and other nonprofits to help break down systemic barriers that inhibit foster youth from achieving economic mobility in Silicon Valley and beyond.”

The Sobrato funding will make a significant impact, helping more young people from foster care graduate high school, matriculate into post-secondary programs, earn a college degree, and gain crucial professional development experience through internships.

“Our goal is to support and guide foster youth to help them become self-sufficient and thrive,” says Matt Bell, Pivotal CEO. “Our program is unique because we tailor our services based on what each and every scholar needs. By investing in the education and future of foster youth now, we – and Sobrato Philanthropies – know we can make a significant impact on their lives.”

We are deeply grateful to Sobrato Philanthropies for recognizing the importance of helping our scholars succeed and for providing us with consistent support over the years.

DIGITAL DREAMS PROJECT

CONNECTING EVERY PIVOTAL SCHOLAR WITH A LAPTOP

Access to technology is vital to our scholars’ success. While personal computers and mobile devices are ubiquitous today, access to these resources is not always a given for young people in and from foster care. Most high schools provide students with laptops to use while in school, but they are required to give these laptops back upon graduation.

Enter PlanITROI and their Digital Dreams Project, which provides access to the devices and tools necessary to compete and succeed. PlanITROI is committed to putting a laptop in the hands of any Pivotal scholar who needs one. To date, they have donated over 200 laptops to our students.

“We are dedicated to creating a more digitally inclusive world where all children are empowered to unlock access to their education, achieve their full potential, and dream without limitations,” says

Paul Baum, CEO of PlanITROI. “We are grateful for our partnership with Acer in providing laptops that will transform the lives of these graduating seniors.”

For the past two years, PlanITROI has generously donated Acer laptops to our Pivotal high school graduates ensuring they’re equipped for a successful future beyond high school.

“We are so excited to partner with the Digital Dreams Project to provide laptops to our graduating seniors,” says Dazzamine Maldonado, Pivotal’s High School Coach Supervisor. “It’s amazing to be able to send these students into the next phase of their education with reliable laptops and one less thing to worry about.”

We are so grateful for PlanITROI and Acer for providing an invaluable resource to our grads as they enter the next phase of their lives!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

We are grateful to our community for your support in helping make our students’ dreams come true!

“

I was drawn to Pivotal’s mission because of a dear family friend who was part of the foster care system.

He

was lucky

enough

to have someone in his life who was committed to helping him move beyond his childhood trauma and find his purpose. That need doesn’t stop when these individuals age out of the system. I’m impressed with the dedication and commitment that Pivotal provides beyond foster care, to give these students much-needed coaching and encouragement and more importantly, the knowledge and skills to create the future they desire. I donate appreciated stock yearly because it’s easy, and while there are advantages to giving this kind of asset, the biggest benefit I get is knowing that my gift will be put to use helping foster youth in my community.

PIVOTAL GEMS SHINE BRIGHT

Pivotal GEMs are a special group of donors who want to support our scholars regularly and choose to Give Every Month. These incredible individuals help provide us with ongoing stability by choosing to make monthly donations to ensure we can continue to support our students.

THE ART OF GENEROSITY

Diane Brandenburg has always been an ardent supporter of underserved youth in her community. At a young age, her parents taught her that giving back was an accomplishment, that human life is not to be wasted, and that every person deserves a chance to succeed. In 1989, Diane and her late husband Lee, were among Pivotal’s founding donors and she continues to give generously today.

An accomplished watercolor artist, Diane decided to celebrate her 90th birthday by creating a “One Woman Art Show” and auctioning off her work with all proceeds going to two organizations she cares deeply about, including Pivotal. Diane spent hundreds of hours pouring her heart into creating over 100 watercolor paintings.

Jessica Yu and Shuang Xu

“I believe in investing in the potential of every child and am dedicated to ensuring that every child receives the stability, love, and opportunities they deserve regardless of their circumstances. My support for Pivotal reflects my belief that every child deserves a chance, and by contributing, I am investing in their futures, providing the necessary support and resources for them to build a brighter and more promising tomorrow.”

This summer, Diane’s auction raised more than $17,000 for Pivotal. In addition, the Brandenburg Family Foundation gave us a generous grant of $50,000 to support our work. We are beyond grateful to Diane for her unwavering generosity and commitment to support our scholars.

Castilleja School extends our deepest gratitude to Pivotal for their dedication to providing equitable access to opportunity for local foster youth. The decision to work with Pivotal was easy since we both share a commitment to nurturing the potential of every individual and a belief in the transformative power of education and support. Thank you, Pivotal, for strengthening our community and helping young people in foster care achieve their goals and dreams.
