Describe the Organization's Program Activity:

Part 3 - Line 4a

THE CONSTELLATION FUND IS BUILT TO HARNESS THE INCISIVE POWER OF MODERN ANALYTICS ALONGSIDE ON-THE-GROUND INSIGHTS TO ALLOCATE PRECIOUS PHILANTHROPIC RESOURCES TO THE PEOPLE AND PARTNERS CREATING THE MOST IMPACT IN THE FIGHT AGAINST POVERTY IN THE TWIN CITIES. WE USE QUANTITATIVE METRICS ALONGSIDE QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS TO SELECT OUR GRANTEE PARTNERS. OUR METRICS ARE BUILT USING THE BEST AVAILABLE EVIDENCE WHICH ALLOWS CONSTELLATION TO RELIABLY PROJECT THE LONG-TERM QUALITY-OF-LIFE IMPACT OF POVERTY-FIGHTING SERVICES RESULTING IN BENEFIT-COST RATIO USED TO HELP OBJECTIVELY BUILD A PORTFOLIO OF THE MOST IMPACTFUL NONPROFITS ACROSS A BROAD SPECTRUM OF PROGRAMS AND INTERVENTIONS. IN FISCAL YEAR 2022, THIS APPROACH LED CONSTELLATION TO INVEST OVER $3.2 MILLION INTO 31 POVERTY-FIGHTING NONPROFITS WORKING ACROSS FOUR IMPACT AREAS - EDUCATION, EMPLOYMENT, HEALTH, AND HOUSING. CONSTELLATION'S EVIDENCE-DRIVEN ANALYSIS ESTIMATES THAT THESE NONPROFITS WILL TURN EVERY DOLLAR OF THAT INVESTMENT INTO AN AVERAGE OF $4.70 OF LIFETIME HEALTH AND INCOME IMPROVEMENTS FOR INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES EXPERIENCING POVERTY IN OUR COMMUNITY. THE AVERAGE PROJECTED IMPACT OF THE NONPROFITS RECEIVING CONSTELLATION FUNDING LAST YEAR WAS CLOSE TO TRIPLE THE $1.51-TO-1 FOR ALL OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT WE EVALUATED IN 2021.THE CONSTELLATION FUND IS STRENGTHENING THE WORK OF OUR SIGNATURE PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM, BEYOND DOLLARS. LAUNCHED AS A PILOT IN 2019, BEYOND DOLLARS CREATES SKILLS-BASED PRO BONO OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH CURATED TEAMS OF VOLUNTEER EMPLOYEES FROM FORTUNE 500 TO MID-SIZED COMPANIES, WHO DELIVER UNPARALLELED CAPACITY-BUILDING SERVICES TO OUR GRANTEES.
