What our Foundations Partners Say About Us

“We’re honored to partner with 10,000 Degrees on over 30 donor-advised scholarships. 10,000 Degrees works to make college accessible for thousands of students in Sonoma County every year. We know that this kind of opportunity uplifts not only students and their families, but our entire community as well. Access to quality education is an important part of a thriving, fair, and equitable community.”

“Even with so much wealth and opportunity in the Bay Area, first-generation students of color continue to face systemic barriers in accessing and persisting through their postsecondary journeys. Sobrato Philanthropies is honored to partner with 10,000 Degrees. With a laser focus on equity, they provide programming for students aspiring to attend both community colleges and four-year universities, without a GPA or test score requirement.”

"A postsecondary education remains one of the greatest drivers of economic mobility, particularly among students of color. We're proud to support 10,000 Degrees in their expansion to additional schools in the San Francisco Unified School District. 10,000 Degrees was identified as a trusted partner among principals in SFUSD and intensively serves some of the most important students we have in our community—our 2-year bound students. The one-two punch of community trust and holistic, student centered support made 10,000 Degrees a natural partner."

“I’ve always thought of the staff and board of 10,000 Degrees as dream-weavers—encouraging, facilitating, and nurturing the aspirations of young people to reach for the stars. It’s been one of the great privileges of my career to have been a supporter of this amazing enterprise. You’ve planted dream after dream, and the lives that you’ve altered as a result of that dream-weaving are making a difference in the Bay Area, in California, and across the country.”
