Collaborate
Great minds succeed together.
The power of our community lies in bringing together insightful minds to gather, share, and exchange possibilities. We connect. We create. We believe in using our collective knowledge and talents to facilitate greater outcomes with purpose and conviction. One way we achieve this is through learning and impact groups, in which individuals with common interests share innovations and collaborate toward collective action. We all bring different perspectives, but we all share the same belief in doing everything we can to help learners all across America succeed.
It takes all of us to make it happen.
We invite grantmakers across our network to gather and collaborate on shared topics, launch initiatives, and generate outcomes not possible on their own.
We have a vested interest in supporting communities of members to work toward a common goal. We welcome you to join a group or share your ideas on new and emerging topics members may find intriguing. Help inspire learning and action by deepening engagement between members to achieve better possibilities for learners everywhere.
