The Foundation’s grantmaking is focused on creating a paradigm shift where schools are a place of and for the community.
We believe in the promise of community schools to improve academic achievement and mitigate structural inequalities. Community schools are hubs for students and communities. Often open evenings and over weekends and summers, they bring together families, students, teachers, and local organizations to identify and provide health, social, and out-of-school-time support.
To help achieve this transformation, our Education grantmaking focuses on working with and within communities to:
- Develop strong leaders and enable access to expertise
- Cultivate diversified and aligned stakeholder support
- Bolster data-driven decision making and strengthen communication
- Translate practice into policy
