Impact Statement
The Lift Up Initiative: Impact Statement Supporting At-Risk Families and Lifting Up Communities Since 2020 *Updated: August 2026
Mission: The Lift Up Initiative is committed to empowering the communities we serve and creating a founder-led social impact initiative. We manage a growing network of domestic and international programs designed to provide meaningful support and foster lasting change. Our team offers support to various organizations including programs and initiatives such as Project Bookmark, World Central Kitchen, Save the Children, SOS Children’s Villages, Thrive DC, Leveling the Playing Field, A Bright Spot, DC Central Kitchen, and Loudoun Hunger Relief, among others. Our goal is to advocate for a brighter future for at-risk children and families and serving our communities with compassion, kindness, and respect for one another. With the unwavering dedication of our partners, volunteers, and supporters, we believe we can truly uplift communities across the globe and elevate them to new heights.
I. The Problem
People in crisis (and the organizations serving them) often don’t get essential support fast enough- especially the “everyday” basics that keep someone stable. Included but not limited to essential items such as food, hygiene supplies, warm clothing, educational materials, and basic resources that help children and families function day-to-day.
A. Why it happens1. Needs are immediate, but support systems are slow (funding cycles, bureaucracy, limited staff).2. Local nonprofits are overstretched and constantly short on supplies.3. Many students/communities want to help but don’t have a simple system to organize meaningful action.
B. Who is affected (specific population)1. Children and teens in shelters, transitional housing, and under-resourced communities who lack basic items that support education, health, and confidence (hygiene supplies, warm clothing, books, and sports equipment).2. Families facing financial instability (job loss, housing insecurity, recent immigration, or emergency circumstances) who must prioritize rent/food over essentials.3. Domestic and international nonprofits and shelters serve these groups, who are often stretched thin and rely on community donations to meet daily needs.
C. Domestic and International Evidence and Why It’s Important1. We have experienced that even in Washington DC, the nation’s capital, many kids show up without basic necessities and small things like lunch, a hygiene kit, a winter coat, or a book can immediately change someone’s day-to-day stability and dignity.2. Through direct conversations and coordination with partner organizations, specifically, Katherine Hanley Family Shelter in Fairfax, Virginia, we learned that shelters and community programs often have urgent, specific item requests that aren’t consistently met—because they move faster than traditional funding cycles.3. That disconnect- needs happening now vs. resources arriving later-is what made it urgent for us to build a system that can respond quickly and repeatedly.
D. Statistic (United States): In the U.S., about 1 in 5 children live in poverty, which strongly correlates with reduced access to basics like stable housing, health resources, and school supplies.
E. Statistic (Global): Worldwide, an estimated 333 million children — about 1 in 6 — live in extreme poverty, surviving on less than US$2.15/day, which is strongly linked to reduced access to basics like safe housing, nutrition, healthcare, and education. II. The Solution A. The Lift Up Initiative addresses the “resource gap” between vulnerable communities’ urgent basic needs and the limited capacity of domestic and international nonprofits to consistently supply them, by organizing student-powered collection drives and partnerships that deliver essentials quickly and reliably.
B. The Lift Up Initiative serves as a youth-led service and logistics organization that runs targeted donation drives and fulfillment-style distributions in partnership with nonprofits.
C. We rally community donors, student volunteers, and convert goodwill into organized drives and partnerships, and deliver specific, requested items directly to shelters and nonprofits.
D. Key Projects/Campaigns: Project Bookmark’s mission is to inspire a love of learning and provide children with the resources they need to thrive. Through school supply donations, tutoring, and community partnerships, we aim to nourish both the minds and bodies of students, empowering them to reach their full potential.
E. Partnership Network with Established Organizations: World Central Kitchen, Save the Children, Thrive DC, Leveling the Playing Field, and others—plus local shelters/community centers.

B. Outcomes (What Changed for People)1. What recipients can do now because of our work:Recipients have immediate access to essentials that improve day-to-day stability-students can participate in school and activities with needed supplies, families can maintain basic health and hygiene, and children can engage in learning through books and educational materials. Access to sports equipment also allows kids to join recreational programs that support confidence, wellness, and social connection.2. Follow-up indicators (repeat distributions, demand growth, partner feedback):Multiple partner organizations have requested follow-up support and additional distributions, showing consistent demand beyond a one-time drive. We’ve seen increased efficiency and larger fulfillment capacity over time as we repeat the model, and partners have shared that our targeted, request-based deliveries help them fill urgent gaps faster than they can through normal supply pipelines.3. Short testimonials/Partner statements: https://www.theliftupinitiative.org
C. Scale and Growth1. Growth Over Time (Month/Quarter 1 vs Quarter 2):Over time, we increased both the volume and consistency of our support, moving from single drives to repeat distributions, mobilizing more volunteers, collecting more items per campaign, and improving our ability to deliver partner-requested supplies on shorter timelines.2. We expanded from serving our immediate local community to supporting organizations in nearby regions (including the D.C. area), while growing our partner network and collaborating with additional nonprofits and community programs to reach more families and children.3. Efficiency Improvements (Cost Per Kit, Faster Delivery, Larger Turnout):As we refined our system (donation sorting, packing workflows, outreach templates, and partner request intake), we improved fulfillment speed, increased turnout and donations per drive, and reduced waste by focusing on targeted item lists—making each campaign more cost-efficient and easier to repeat at a larger scale.

E. Our Values1. One of the many things we’ve shared as identical twin brothers, is the goal of serving and positively impacting the lives of at-risk children and families. In 2020, we launched Project Bookmark, our first step toward creating meaningful change. Over the years we embraced new challenges and experienced the extraordinary impact young people can make when they come together with passion and purpose.In 2025, we introduced a bold new vision: The Lift Up Initiative. Together, we rebranded and made it our central mission. Today, Project Bookmark continues as one of several programs under The Lift Up Initiative, each designed to uplift, empower, and bring lasting change to communities across the globe. Through relationships with organizations such as Save the Children and World Central Kitchen, alongside local efforts like Lift Up D.C., we’re expanding our impact from neighborhood schools to families worldwide.2. We were motivated to turn empathy into action by building a reliable system that mobilizes students and community partners to respond quickly to real needs. Leading this work taught us that service isn’t a one-time donation, it’s consistency, accountability, and listening to the people doing the work on the ground. It also taught us how to lead teams, communicate with partners, and follow through until help actually reaches the right hands.
F. Challenges and How We Solved Them 1. We faced common early obstacles; limited funding, storage and sorting constraints, and inconsistent turnout. 2. We solved this by shifting to partner-requested item lists, creating a simple drive-and-fulfillment workflow (collection, sorting, packing, delivery), and improving outreach through school and community partnerships. 3. As a result, our deliveries became more reliable, campaigns became easier to repeat, and we were able to scale participation and impact over time.
VI. Sustainability and What’s NextA. Next 3–12 Months PlanRun consistent, partner-requested drives on a set schedule, strengthen logistics (sorting/packing/delivery), and publish a simple impact + verification page after each campaign. B. Scale Targets (Numbers)-Our Global Progress1. Over 3,000 Essential Supplies Donated: Goal = 5,0002. Over 2,500 Food Items Donated: Goal = 5,0003. Over 4,000 Educational Supplies Donated: Goal = 5,0004. Over 500 Books Donated: Goal = 1,0005. Over 250 Medical Supplies Donated: Goal = 1,0006. Over 300 Sports Equipment & Games Donated: Goal = 1,000 C. New PartnershipsExpand partnerships with additional shelters, schools, and local businesses to match donations directly to verified needs and increase distribution capacity. D. Recurring Fundraising ModelLaunch a monthly giving option and seasonal fundraising campaigns (winter essentials, back-to-school, hygiene), supported by small business sponsorships and a simple donation menu tied to specific outcomes (e.g., “$25 = one hygiene kit”). E. Program Replication (Other Schools, Toolkits)Create a chapter toolkit (drive playbook, outreach scripts, tracking sheets, verification checklist) so other schools can run the same model and report impact in the same standardized way. VII. Long-Term Vision: Build a scalable, youth-led system that consistently delivers essential resources and opportunity to vulnerable communities—starting locally and expanding nationally and globally through partnerships and replicable school chapters.
