Education
We support organizations and practices that are reshaping the American education system to better serve all students and educators.
Building a future filled with opportunity
America’s current education system is not designed to serve all students. Yet, the answers are there. Teachers—particularly educators of color—possess critical knowledge and insight into how to foster a sense of ownership and empowerment in their students, leading to increased motivation and a sense of belonging. Similarly, families and community members know the methods that help students achieve academic success and social-emotional wellbeing.
We work with and learn from these stakeholders to ensure we can select and support the education organizations with the greatest potential to improve learning and life outcomes for all of our nation’s students.
We support organizations that are reshaping the American education system to better serve all students and educators. These organizations are led by entrepreneurs who have experience working in and with all levels of school systems in communities across the country. We seek leaders who recognize and elevate the ideas, experiences, and brilliance of each student and educator, and who tap into the power of engaging families and the wider school communities.
Widespread Impact: Scaling Access for All
How can we ensure that the greatest number of students, from all backgrounds and in all contexts, have access to interventions that best support their academic growth and mental wellbeing?
New Profit explores answers to this question in our latest report: Widespread Impact: Scaling Access for All. The report highlights key insights generated through lessons from our grantees and insights from our Widespread Impact Collaborative community of practice. It also builds upon our 2021 report, A Pragmatic Playbook for Impact, written and published in partnership with Bellwether.
