What did Brian Cleary and Eric Ginsburg tell Joanna Rutter before she wrote' "Say Yes mobilizes for next phase of educational support"?

"After meeting its initial goal of providing Guilford County public-school seniors with opportunities for last-dollar tuition scholarships...

What does 'opportunities' mean Brian and Eric?

....Say Yes Executive Director Mary Vigue’s eagerness was palpable.

“We’re excited we’re moving beyond scholarships here in Guilford,” Vigue said. “We’re moving past them, into the next phase.”

How much money is being allocated this year Brian, Eric and Joanna?

...Vigue energized a room of about 30 young-to-middle-aged professionals in suits and medical uniforms

Why not students and their parents Brian, Eric and Joanna?

Doesn't it seem counter-intuitive?

Say Yes to Education [says they are going to fund] last-dollar tuition scholarships
available to all eligible Guilford County public high-school graduates starting with the class of 2016.

With how much money from where Brian, Eric and Joanna?

...Say Yes selected Guilford County to be its third community-wide program alongside Syracuse and Buffalo, NY.

Not quite true, isn't it Brian, Eric and Joanna?

What are the names of the city's whose programs went under?

Why have so many other Say Yes communities terminated their programs?

...Since then, the local iteration of the organization has grown, adding Greensboro’s former assistant city manager Vigue [and City of Greensboro Communications director Donnie Turlington, using free space 'donated' from City of Greensboro taxpayers]

...data will come from much of what’s currently available from the county school-system and research previously conducted for Say Yes by Schoolhouse Partners, an independent publishing and service company specializing in education.

Schoolhouse Partners has made a lot of money from Say Yes to Education

Schoolhouse Partners is a service company 
providing resources and solutions to its clients 
in the areas of grant funding, prospect research, 
and proposal writing


...Attendees nodded and murmured in assent.

...Several private donors initially committed the needed funding to launch the chapter — around $28 million of a $70 million goal for perpetuity, according to Vigue.

Thanks to seed money from Say Yes along with $35 million in contributions 
from local businesses and individuals, Guilford County is one of those communities.


How did $35 million turn into $28 million Brian, Eric and Joanna?

Are you purposefully lying to your readers?

...Say Yes spokesperson Donnie Turlington said in an interview that the local funds raised came from many of the same pockets as the $30 million of private funding for the Tanger Center for the Performing Arts just a year before.

Almost unbelievable

How much of the $35 million in announced donations 
have been delivered to the Community Foundations of Greensboro and High Point
Brian, Eric and Joanna?

The national Say Yes organization met them with $15 million of seed money to help the startup.

Where's the money?
