Our Funding Partners

We don’t do this work alone. Our efforts are possible because of the individual and institutional funders who partner with us to make big bets that will reimagine public education. Here’s why they invest in us:

“I am an investor in NewSchools because of the opportunity to support and learn of new ventures which maximizes my own philanthropy.“

“Our partnership with NewSchools enables us to make an expansive impact nationwide by funding a range of bold solutions to recruit, retain and support diverse educators."

“NewSchools maximizes the potential of leaders who are creating change in education, helping them leverage their talents to be more successful, particularly at the critical beginning stages as they launch their ventures.”
