How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Community-Engaged Fundraising and Governance
    methodology: community_engaged_model
    By involving the community in fundraising and decision-making, we strengthen support for public education because shared ownership and volunteer leadership foster deeper engagement and sustainable investment in schools.
  • Innovation-Granting Model
    methodology: innovation_grantmaking
    By funding teacher-proposed and student-led educational projects that fall outside the standard budget, we stimulate creative learning and engagement because innovation driven by educators and students directly enhances educational experience and ownership.
