Partners in School Innovation is a leader in closing the achievement gap in the Bay Area's lowest-performing public elementary schools. Currently, low-income children of color have a 1 in 4 chance of reading proficiently before going to middle school. We know what it takes to permanently shift these odds and produce thriving urban public schools that lead thousands of underserved students to realize their full potential. Join us by making an investment that leads to real change in students' life opportunities.

WHY DONATE TO PARTNERS IN SCHOOL INNOVATION?

1. We're making a measurable impact. Schools that substantially implement our program outperform the literacy gains of their districts, similar schools in the state and the state as a whole. Investing in us means investing in a better future for children in need in our public schools.

2. We're a fiscally responsible and disciplined organization.
For every dollar you give, more than 80 cents goes directly to support our in-school services and people and program development. We're committed to ensuring your investment is well spent and helps us achieve the most impact possible. See our latest audited financials.

3. We have tremendous momentum and an inspiring plan for the future. Over the past four years, we have doubled in size and expanded to three of the largest urban districts in the Bay Area. We are launching a new strategic plan to take our approach nationally by the year 2015.

SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
For more information on any of the sponsorship opportunities below, please contact Jeri Howland, Chief Development Officer, by email or telephone, 415.824.6196 x 108.

1. SPONSOR OUR WORK IN SCHOOLS

SPONSOR A SCHOOL
$50,000/year

Invest in the transformation of one high-need Bay Area elementary school serving roughly 500 students. Your investment will be leveraged by a similar level of contribution from the school itself, making you a true partner to the school and its improvement. In one year, a well-supported school can double or triple the number of students reading at grade level. As a School Sponsor, you will have opportunities to visit the school and learn about systemic urban education reform through the eyes of the school and PartnersSI staff.

SPONSOR A SCHOOL INNOVATION PARTNER
$25,000 for 1 year
$15,000 for 6 months

By sponsoring a School Innovation Partner (SIP), you can provide one high-need Bay Area elementary school with a talented educational leader and coach, whose proven effectiveness as a former teacher or leader helps build the school’s capacity to accelerate student learning. Our SIPs have taught for an average of six years in urban schools and 50% have earned an advanced degree in education. They come from prestigious institutions including Stanford, UCLA, UC Berkeley, Northwestern, Princeton, and Dartmouth. Your investment also goes toward the SIP’s career development and building the pipeline for innovative leadership in public education. As a SIP Sponsor, you will gain insight into your SIP’s work through regular communication from him/her and the opportunity to see the work in action at a school site.

2. SPONSOR AN EVENT
