New Schools Diverse Leaders

Overview

<p>Through our annual Diverse Leaders funding opportunity, we will invest up to $2 million in innovators with bold ideas to close the racial leadership gap in public education. We invest in organizations that recruit and support the growth of Black and Latino leaders or serve as capacity-builders, helping education organizations adopt inclusive, equitable practices that advance the ultimate goal of improving the life outcomes of children. We recently expanded the definition of diverse leaders to include a group too often left out of the leadership picture: parents. Parents have not always been seen as education leaders — though few people are closer to the educational inequity in the system or have a clearer view of the change required in their schools and communities. Our goal is to ensure education leadership reflects the diversity of public school students across the country. We want your best, most creative ideas to help us get there.</p>
