We seek to eliminate racial and socioeconomic predictability of academic achievement by supporting educator strategies that create environments where all students can achieve their full potential.

We see the Foundation as an opportunity for transformation

Foundation 65 goes beyond funding. We partner with educators to grow innovative ideas, offer technical support, and foster educator connections through our leadership programs. We are committed to uplifting underrepresented voices because when everyone is seen and valued, brilliance shines.
