The headline
Two (likely) big wins!
Neither is inked yet — but both are real, and together they meaningfully change our revenue picture starting next year.
3 Medicaid partnerships · 2027
$250K grant · strong odds

07
Win no. 1 · Medicaid partnerships
Three health plans, secured for 2027.
Three Medicaid partnerships secured, each at our flat $60K annual rate — including our current partner, bumping from $2K to $5K/month. Contracts aren't signed yet, but commitments are in place and launches begin in 2027.
Annie will walk us through these partnerships and others in the pipeline.

Win no. 2 · Major grant
A new $250K grant from an existing funder.
This funder already gave us a $225,000 grant this year, and the relationship has been strong enough that they invited us to this $250K grant. We haven't received formal notice, but the odds are good.
The grant funds tutor recruitment for our intergenerational tutoring program, starting next year. The funder is flexible on how we deploy the money, and while it's structured as a two-year grant, they're open to extending it to three or four.

What it adds up to
Real, recurring money — from two directions.
→
Earned revenue is becoming real
Medicaid partnerships put us on a path to recurring, renewable earned income — not just philanthropy.
→
Grant funding fuels the supply side
The $250K grant grows our tutor pipeline — the engine that makes every partnership deliverable.
→
Neither is signed — both are close
We're being upfront: commitments are secured, paperwork is pending. We'll update the board the moment ink hits paper.
