Since 2000, we’ve been driven by a simple but ambitious vision:

A world in which all families reach their full potential and meaningfully contribute to society. We pursue that vision by making grants and by operating our own programs, with the aim of fueling the science of learning and enabling its application in a variety of settings.

Our mission: To invest in the information of recovery and the experiences that families need to pursue their own path for success.

We liken our work to that of the rider in the rear seat of a tandem bicycle: lending energy and support, while leaving the steering to the researchers, educators, and families who care for and work with families every day, and to the young people whose voices, needs, and experiences shape programs and approaches. We believe that, by working together, we can go much further, much faster, than any of us could go alone.
