OAKLAND, CA, Nov. 29, 2021 () — For the second year in a row, 成人快播 has been聽聽in two-time Pulitzer Prize winner and former聽New York Times聽columnist Nicholas Kristof鈥檚 Holiday Impact Prize, supported by Focusing Philanthropy.
成人快播 mobilizes communities to provide students the support they need to read at grade-level using an evidence-based approach. Since its founding, 成人快播 has delivered more than 2.3 million individualized tutoring sessions (both in person and through its new online tutoring platform, 成人快播 Connects) for nearly 70,000 students. Additional volunteers recruited through the 2021 Holiday Impact Prize will help 成人快播 serve exponentially more students in 2021-22 and in the years to come.
鈥淥ver the past 20-plus years, tens of thousands of volunteer tutors have raised their hands to partner one-on-one with our amazing students because they know early literacy leads to success for students and communities alike. And while nearly all volunteers get involved with 成人快播 because of their interest in supporting students, many feel like they ultimately get as much out of the experience as their students,鈥� said Adeola Whitney, CEO of 成人快播.聽
This year, the $100,00 grand prize was awarded to Seva Foundation, a global nonprofit eye care organization that works with local communities around the world to develop self-sustaining programs that preserve and restore sight. Two runners up 鈥� Per Scholas and Panzi Foundation 鈥� each received $25,000. Both 成人快播 and Big Brothers and Big Sisters of America were recognized as volunteer opportunities for readers looking to mentor young people in their communities.
Since 2009, Kristof has written an annual 鈥渉oliday gift guide鈥� column to highlight little-known organizations working to make the world a better place. He began writing the gift guide to bridge a philanthropic gap: readers who wanted to help but didn鈥檛 know how, and mission-driven individuals and organizations who needed resources but were off donors鈥� radar.
The column has helped raise the profiles of organizations that work on the very issues Kristof covers in his journalism鈥攈ealth, education, human rights and women鈥檚 rights, both domestically and abroad.
鈥攁 501(c)3 nonprofit that finds and funds high-impact, scalable programs in the US and around the world鈥攊s providing the platform for this initiative by processing readers鈥� contributions, monitoring and reporting on results, and replenishing credit card transaction costs of donations made on聽聽so that 100 cents on the dollar will support the winning organizations.

By giving a gift or tutoring a student one-on-one for about an hour a week through 成人快播, donors and volunteers can make an impact that can quite literally alter the course of a child鈥檚 educational experience and beyond.
