Trust-released Frontline Solutions evaluation reports lasting gains from Great Expectations initiative
The Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust released an external evaluation of its decade-long Great Expectations initiative in Forsyth County. According to the Trust, evaluator Frontline Solutions documented community-led maternal health work that influenced institutional practices, early-childhood efforts that helped secure a $4.5 million public grant and reduce exclusionary discipline, and increased organizing capacity among family, friend and neighbor caregivers.
Status matters. This page records a sourced development, not a completed No Halo investigation. An allegation is not a finding. Dismissals, settlements, judgments, corrections and final outcomes remain distinct.
Donor relevance
Why this matters
The evaluation provides donor-relevant evidence that a long-term philanthropic initiative contributed to policy change, additional public investment and stronger community leadership rather than only delivering short-term activities.
Attribution
Who reported or established this
The findings were reported by the Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust and attributed to an evaluation conducted by Frontline Solutions using information from key participants and program data.
Evidence limits
What remains unverified
No Halo has not independently reviewed the underlying participant data, verified the reported reduction in exclusionary discipline or established how much of each reported change was caused by the initiative.
Right of reply
Organization response
The Trust said Great Expectations has ended as a distinct initiative, but it will carry the lessons and community-centered approach into future work supporting children and families.
