Every student should have an excellent education that prepares them to succeed and thrive in life. Too many students in the Bay Area do not. We are changing this.
The Bay Ed Fund is an innovative approach to education philanthropy. We work shoulder-to-shoulder with communities to co-design bold visions for student success, providing long-term funding, capacity-building, and expert guidance to drive transformative and sustainable improvements in public school districts.
Our Goal
Our goal is to dramatically improve educational outcomes and experiences for 50,000 students across the Bay Area by 2035 while building a new and replicable approach to meaningful and sustainable district improvement.
