Much of the work of the Collaborative depends on the generosity of private corporations and foundations that share the mission of seeing schools made better for our nation's children. The kind of comprehensive, multi-year work we do with schools involves a substantial financial commitment on the part of schools.

The Collaborative seeks partnerships with forward-looking individuals, businesses and foundations that understand the need for private answers to public problems. Many schools simply cannot afford to initiate a multi-year, whole-school approach involving multiple days of training, on-site coaching, high-quality teacher and students materials, and related costs like travel, substitute fees, etc. It takes funding assistance from outside sources for most schools to begin on the path of whole-school transformation.
