Peter Löscher, President of the Siemens Stiftung Board of Trustees, on behalf of the Board: Siemens Stiftung aims to contribute to positive changes in society with technical solutions, concrete concepts, and platforms for knowledge transfer. Cooperating with various stakeholders is a fundamental requirement for increasing the impact of its projects and anchoring them for the long term. For that reason, Siemens Stiftung seeks to cooperate with other foundations and non-governmental organizations as well as with government institutions, businesses, and the scientific community. Partnerships allow complementary approaches, skills, and resources to be bundled and sustainable programs to be developed. The previous fiscal year, in particular, delivers impressive examples of how such partnership models can increase the effectiveness of project work.

The Mott Foundation's 2011 Annual Report takes an in-depth look at our commitment to increasing the quality and availability of afterschool programming, including our long-standing partnership with the federal government on the 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) initiative. The publication includes: a narrative section that showcases five afterschool programs in communities across the country, and a message from President and CEO William S. White, in which he points out that the time spent before and afterschool can form an important "foundation for learning" for many students. White also expresses concern that federal funding for afterschool programs could end up on the chopping block, given worries over how to cut national spending.
