Donate to Help Students Today
Your support matters.
Your gift directly helps public schools to improve teaching and learning for students of color and those living in poverty. By donating to Partners in School Innovation, you:
Invest in equity. Close opportunity gaps by equipping teachers and leaders with the tools and support they need to ensure all students achieve at high levels.
Make a lasting impact. We don’t offer quick fixes. We build schools’ internal capacity so that improvement continues long after we leave. Your gift fuels sustainable change that benefits generations of students.
Empower educators. With your financial assistance, teachers receive personalized coaching, evidence-based strategies, and collaborative support to meet the diverse needs of their students.
Help students succeed. Our partnered schools see measurable gains — higher reading and math proficiency, stronger classroom instruction, and more supportive school cultures where students feel seen and capable.
Become part of a movement. Join a community of donors, educators, and advocates who believe in public education as the foundation of an equitable society.
