Results Innovation Lab and Our Moonshot Goal to Better the Odds for Children, Youth and Families
Our organizations and partners are working together like never before, and we have a critical “Moonshot Goal”: to dramatically improve the trajectory of the lives of 20,000 vulnerable children in America by 2024. Just think what this could mean for so many children and the world around them.
To this end, we and our member organizations launched our Results Innovation Lab, dedicated to empowering children and youth to become healthy, productive and successful adults.
Whether increasing reading proficiency levels for over 2,000 third-grade Wisconsin students or decreasing the arrest and re-arrest rates for over 700 youth of color in South Dakota, we are seeing every day the great potential for Results Innovation Lab to become a national model for transforming the lives of America’s children and youth.

The Great Plains Senior Services Collaborative
A second three-year grant recently was awarded to our Great Plains Senior Services Collaborative, dedicated to expanding community-based services and supports to improve the health and quality of life for low-income seniors. In addition to Minnesota and North Dakota, senior citizens and their caregivers in Montana now also are being reached and supported by our national network organizations.
The Collaborative already has improved the health and quality of life of over 1,550 low-income vulnerable seniors in over 70 communities throughout Minnesota and North Dakota. Its services directly relate to social determinants of health — one of our key focus areas in efforts to help older Americans age independently and live fulfilling, purpose-driven lives. The Collaborative was designed with sustainability in mind, and we see it as an ideal model which will scale nationally.
