NewSchools Venture Fund

School and school system leaders need access to instructional breakthroughs that make learning more equitable and effective We fund innovative learning solutions — literacy tools and content, as well as whole-school models — that are rooted in equity and can power new levels of student success

Diverse leadership matters Yet, in a country where the majority of public school students are children of color, diversity in the field — among teachers, leaders and parent advocates — lags far behind We invest in efforts to increase the number of Black and Latino educators and education leaders, ventures that serve as diversity, equity and inclusion capacity builders and work to mobilize parents to advocate for change

True systemic change takes truly bold action That’s why we offer “dream capital” to leaders of color who have ideas for addressing racial inequities in education We are open to ambitious, early-stage ideas that advance racial equity We don’t decide how to allocate funds; instead, we leave it up to parents, students and education innovators of color
