What we accomplished

FY24: A year of purpose, partnership, and impact

We are proud of the results we achieved over the past year. Through our partnerships, more than 170 million people were positively impacted across more than 100 countries, in every region of the world. Beyond the number of people impacted, the depth and sustained impact of our investments is clear.

Forty percent of the solutions we have invested in today are reaching more than 1 million people per year—advancing successfully from idea to scale
Ninety-seven percent of our partners have secured new funding which they directly attribute to Cisco’s support—evidencing the catalytic nature of our investments
Fifty-six percent of our partners operate on less than $5 million annual operating budget—proving that small organizations can have an outsize impact
Eighty-one percent of our partners have more than 75 percent of their staff based in the country/ies of their program operations—showing the importance of a proximate, client-centric, and community-focused approach

Each of these highlights is meaningful on its own but collectively, they paint a compelling picture of a diverse and balanced portfolio of partner organizations who are innovating to deliver technology solutions that drive impact at scale—demonstrating a high return on our investments and validating our strategy and approach.
