Educators need anti-racist classroom resources.
BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) students deserve a school environment where they can thrive. You can help provide educators with the training and resources they need to create systemic change.
Your gift will be directed towards proven strategies and resources that will have long-lasting benefits for students of color nationwide. Funding will focus on providing flexible funding grants to BIPOC educators.
While all educators have a place in the fight for racial equity, we believe that it is critical to acknowledge the history of disenfranchisement and resource starvation experienced by BIPOC educators and students. We specifically offer these flexible funding grants to BIPOC educators because they are leaders who deserve priority in this work.
Your donation will be directed towards proven strategies and resources that will have long-lasting benefits for BIPOC students nationwide. Make a donation here.
