What We Do

We support high-quality and innovative schools that have a stable non-profit governing structure and leadership that reflects the communities they serve. 

From District Innovation Schools in Indianapolis, to charter schools in Washington D.C., to hybrid charter-district Renaissance Schools in Camden, we support school leaders across the country working to provide great opportunities for students and families.

Ensuring all children have access to high-quality education will require a diverse coalition, so we support civic leaders and non-profit organizations who are working together to build innovative public education systems in their cities.

Whether it’s investing in a local superintendent, a research university, or a parent-led community organization, we believe it’s crucial that local leaders find the right solutions for their community.

We support organizations devoted to training and supporting the next wave of high-quality teachers and school leaders.

From school-based teacher residency programs to partnerships with local universities, we support institutions that ensure cities have the great educators they need to thrive.
