Partnering with our public schools to change the lives of students.
Our passion is public education. Creating new programs. Advocating for Madison’s public schools. Forging new partnerships. Supporting all students through initiatives and outreach designed with one thing in mind: To give them what they need to succeed.
What We Do
Support. Advocate. Connect. That’s why we exist.
Through programs like Teacher Support Network, we provide our schools and teachers access to resources that make learning easier and enjoyable for students. We advocate on their behalf for more school funding – because quality public education is a right. And we connect our community to schools, through things like our Adopt-a-School program, making it easy for individuals and organizations to get involved and help students.
Give a gift. Empower our students.
