Our grantmaking helps students of all ages and backgrounds access learning that leads to meaningful careers, upward mobility, and civic participation. In this way, Education works to support the forces of cohesion that build trust in public institutions, reduce political polarization, and strengthen our democracy.
To achieve socioeconomic mobility, we must support students in attaining the knowledge, skills, relationships, and experiences essential for securing high-growth, mobility-wage careers.
We support the integration of civic education and youth civic participation both within schools and in community-based settings. This includes partnerships with public institutions such as libraries and cultural organizations that foster civic knowledge, skills, and values.
