A lot can happen in 13 years.
Chase’s Chance, INC. started with a second-grade idea, a toothbrush, and a simple belief that if you see a need, you can find a way to respond to it. Since then, we’ve grown from a young girl serving her classmates into a nonprofit that has directed more than $500,000 toward young people and communities.
And now, we’re growing again.
Our founder, Chase Clark, has graduated from college, and with that milestone comes a new season for Chase’s Chance. We’re thinking bigger about what we can build, how we can serve, and what the future of this organization can look like.
That means new ideas. New structures. New partnerships. New ways to serve.
We’re taking this moment to thoughtfully restructure our organization, strengthen the systems behind our work, expand the ways we support young people, and create more opportunities for people to become part of our mission.
Because growing up doesn’t mean leaving the original vision behind.
It means giving it more room to grow.
The heart of Chase’s Chance remains the same: see a need, imagine what’s possible, and find a way to make it happen. But the way we bring that belief to life is evolving.
And we want you to be part of it.
Welcome to On Our Minds.
This blog is our first step toward bringing you along for the ride. It’s where we’ll share what we’re thinking about, what we’re learning, what we’re building, and what’s happening in the world of Chase’s Chance.
You’ll hear about our work, our ideas, our people, our community, and the questions we’re asking as we figure out what comes next.
Some posts will be about Chase’s Chance.
Some will be about the world around us.
And some will simply be what’s on our minds.
So, welcome to the next chapter.
We’re growing up. We’re growing forward. And we’re just getting started.
Stay tuned. There’s a lot on our minds.
