The More Than Education Foundation was chartered by a diverse group of social impact strategists, educational curriculum designers, Emmy and Telly Award-winning public media producers, and technology innovators. These visionary individuals recognized that by working collaboratively, individual initiatives focused on driving measurable social and behavioral impacts could achieve greater scale than what is possible through investments in public media, technology, and community outreach in isolation.
Advised by behavioral economists and already seeing the results of aligning technology, media, and community partnerships, the chartering members formed The More Than Education Foundation. The foundation provides technical assistance, funding support, and impact measurement for initiatives that drive meaningful change. It acts as both a creator of initiatives and a fiscal agent for existing ones.
