Thank You for Powering RARE into 2026!

/ February 2, 2026

As we begin a new year, we want to pause and say thank you.

Because of the generosity of our community, RARE’s Year End Appeal brought together more than 100 supporters who believe in racial equity, student leadership, and meaningful connections across our schools. Your gifts helped carry us into 2026 with the resources needed to continue our work.

While we did not reach our full fundraising goal, the support we received will still make a meaningful difference in 2026. Every gift helped sustain student leadership opportunities and programs like Connections that foster belonging, confidence, and growth for young people across our community.

We are especially grateful to our board members, volunteers, and longtime donors who stepped up during this year’s appeal. Your commitment, advocacy, and belief in this work continue to strengthen RARE’s foundation and credibility.

Looking ahead, we are approaching 2026 with clarity and determination.

We will continue to steward resources carefully, seek additional support, and adapt thoughtfully so that our programs can continue to serve students and schools in meaningful ways.

We are grateful for your partnership and remain committed to building a more equitable future together.
