Greenhouse Scholars’ 2020 Rally for Our Future Virtual Event

CHICAGO, IL, November 20, 2020 – Gresham Partners participated in Greenhouse Scholars’ recent 2020 Rally for Our Future virtual event during which 572 donors contributed over $350,000 and Gresham helped raise over $50,000 of that amount. Greenhouse Scholars is an educational nonprofit that is functioning at the center of several major issues facing us today, including COVID-19, economic uncertainty and racial inequity. Its Scholars are outstanding college students from under-resourced families and communities who are determined to create a better future for us all.

Gresham Partners has supported Greenhouse Scholars since 2013 both financially and through the direct involvement of many members of Gresham’s team who have served as reviewers of Scholar candidates, sponsors and mentors. The exciting 2020 Rally for Our Future fundraising event was hosted by Pete Burridge, Greenhouse Scholars’ Founder and CEO, Andra Pool, its Chief Relationship and Community Officer, and Reggie Rivers, a former Denver Bronco. Throughout the event, Scholars, sponsors and mentors described how
the Greenhouse Scholars program has affected them directly. Another focal point of the evening was showcasing how four main types of giving have impacted the Scholars: Greenhouse Scholars’ Top Priorities, Sponsor Scholars in the Class of 2024, Grow the Community Impact Program, and Expand Our Internships & Careers Program.

Listen here to Ted Neild, Gresham’s President and Chief Investment Officer, explain why he and Gresham believe in and support Greenhouse Scholars.
