We back visionary local leaders who are expanding access to great schools to transform education in their cities. We provide the funding, expertise, and networks these leaders need to revolutionize their public school systems.
By providing sustainable funding over extended periods, we enable visionary leaders to scale what’s working for students in their communities. These local leaders help incubate and grow great public charter schools while creating systemic improvements to reach students citywide.
Our team of education veterans serves as trusted advisors to visionary city leaders trying to navigate complex challenges and create better schools for every child in their community.
We bring people together to create powerful connections that spark breakthroughs, share vital knowledge, and amplify the collective impact of leaders working to revolutionize education in their cities.
