The College Access & Success Initiative is a program of the Florida Philanthropic Network, made possible through funding from the Helios Education Foundation and the Kresge Foundation. In 2018, GiveWell Community Foundation received funding from the College Access & Success Initiative to engage and sustain college access coalitions to enhance Polk County’s college-going culture and support statewide efforts for increased post-secondary attainment rates.
GiveWell Community Foundation proudly partners with Polk Vision, which serves as the Local College Access Network (LCAN) for Polk County, Florida.
