Ensuring everyone who calls St. Louis home is prepared to thrive.
01 Our Vision
We envision a region that draws people from all backgrounds and a St. Louis where every single person is able to find success.
02 Our Approach
A strong and equitable public education system is essential to retaining and attracting jobs and families, decreasing inequality, and expanding opportunity in our region.
We provide grants and support to traditional and charter public schools, educators, parents, non-profits, and other community stakeholders with an aim to accelerate the rate of improvement in schools and increase access to effective public schools.
