OAKLAND
PROMISE
"I am impressed by the bold and comprehensive approach of the Oakland Promise which has pulled together best practices from around the country. As former US Secretary of Education, I've seen many initiatives across the country — Oakland Promise is one of the most strategic and effective and has the potential to be a national model... it leverages private philanthropy for public dollars and has already achieved outstanding results. OP changes the trajectory of our Oakland students from the time they are born, through the time they graduate from college and enter the workforce. Oakland Promise is truly a game changer for Oakland and its future generations."

PROMISE
Having a college savings account for a new baby inspires parents and guardians to feel optimistic and engaged in their child's early development. Financial coaching services support parents to set and achieve their financial goals for their family, reducing stress and improving economic well-being. Together these resources support the powerful bond between parent and child, improve the early socio-emotional development and health of babies, and help the lay foundation for their future academic, economic and social success.
Approximately 2.200 babies are born in Oakland each year to families with incomes low enough to qualify for Medi-Cal.
Our vision is to offer Briiliant Baby resources to aU of these children and their families. 10 $

City Council Investment
OAKLAND
PROMISE
What have the City and OUSD given previously?
• CITY OF OAKLAND:The $1.15M investment that the City of Oakland has made thus far in the Oakland Promise is to provide every kindergartner in Oakland (nearly 5,000 students annually) with a $100 early college scholarship. This initial investment was a City Council initiated commitment to support Oakland children. o The City of Oakland has also generously supported with in-kind contributions:
■ 11th Floor of City Hall Office Space from 2016-2018
■ Desktop computers, phone, and internet service for approximately 5 Oakland Promise Staff (note:
additional Oakland Promise staff had laptops purchased through philanthropically-funded dollars and used the free City of Oakland public wifi)
■ Mayor's Director of Education funded by the City for 17-18 & 18-19 (note: the Governing Board and incoming CEO of Oakland Promise, not the Mayor's Director of Education, has decision-making authority on the Oakland Promise now and moving forward.) • OUSD has supported with over $600,000, as well:
o Full-time Site-based support for students: College & Career Readiness Specialists at School sites (i.e. 3 FTE: Castlemont, Oakland High, Coliseum College Prep Academy) to support students on their college and career pathway, leveraging scholarships, fill-out FAFSA and Dream App, submit college applications, apply for internships, etc.
o College Access Director and OUSD Liaison to the Oakland Promise to support middle and high school sites in Oakland to have effective college and career access hubs o Below market rate for rent (see question 14 in packet for how much is spent directly on rent) Access to OUSD internet at 1000 Broadway and school sites. —————............,.........................................] WurOaklandOurPromise
City Council Investment
OAKLAND
PROMISE
What would the new proposed dollars be for?
• The $500,000 ($1.0 million over two years) from the City of Oakland will seed with $100 the "Oakland Scholar Fund" established for each kindergartener in Oakland public schools for approximately 5,000 students. These funds will go directly to students and families. None of this money will be used for personnel, operations, etc. In fact, the Oakland Promise Governing Board's Executive Committee has approved adoption of a board resolution to make it explicit that all money received from City of Oakland in support of early college scholarships is restricted to college scholarship funds going directly to Oakland students. • In addition to the $100 provided to Kindergartners, the Oakland Promise is raising resources to make additional contributions to each student's Oakland Scholar Fund throughout their educations. Our goal is that all students who stay in Oakland public schools in grades 5-12 could earn as much as $500 towards this scholarship fund by the time they graduate from an Oakland public school. We also are raising funds to provide equity-based scholarships (based on need) to students across Oakland. • These early college scholarships are important because research shows that low- and moderate-income students who have a college savings account of up to $500 are 3x more likely to go to college and 4x more likely to graduate.
• Students who leave Oakland Public Schools before graduation can still access the funds in their Oakland Scholar Fund to pay for postsecondary education. Because the City of Oakland funds will all go directly for students and families, the operational costs of administering the scholarships, tracking the students, providing college access and persistence support are all covered by the Oakland Promise. While many other nonprofits would likely take at least 10% of the funds to support those operational costs, the Oakland Promise is covering all those costs through privately-raised dollars. _____^ _______
City Council Investment

PROMISE
Where does the City of Oakland funds go?
The money will go to East Bay College Fund and its successors (which will be Oakland Promise).
When will the City of Oakland money get to kids and how? What is the mechanism and intermediary? The funds will be transferred from the City of Oakland to the East Bay College Fund and its successors (which will be the Oakland Promise as of July 1,2019). The City of Oakland contributions will be deposited into the existing cash account (Bank of America) and then transferred to an investment account. College scholarship funds will be invested for up to 12 years, until students graduate high school. Contributions to each student's individual Oakland Scholar Fund will be tracked in partnership with OUSD, using student identification and enrollment data. Funds will be disbursed only for the purpose of paying for postsecondary education expenses of the student. This approach is aligned with the investment strategy with additional scholarship dollars for students that the city's investment leverages to ensure its a cohesive and clear process for students and families.
Students' cumulative scholarship value will be tracked and accessible to students and families through an online portal.
Families will be able to log-in and see their students' balances and how much they've earned over time that will be accessible once they attend college. Note: as students can access the funds once they have completed High School, and the funds can only be used for post-secondary expenses (as long as it helps the student attend and complete any postsecondary education, which we define broadly to include not only 4-year colleges, but also 2-year colleges, trade schools, certificate programs, etc.) to support them be successful in a career of their choice.
