Mission Statement

NewSchools is a venture philanthropy that builds a better education system by connecting people, resources, and ideas. We bridge the gap between those with capital and those with the courage to put that capital to work on the front lines of education. We envision an education system that keeps its promise to all students. That’s why we invest in the ideas and energy of education leaders and entrepreneurs who are advancing innovative solutions that expand the definition of what works. There’s a better way to advance education through philanthropy — one that is more equitable, more collaborative, and more courageous–and we’re proving it every day.

About This Cause

A U.S.-based nonprofit founded in 1998, NewSchools is the first venture philanthropy focused on K-12 education. Over the past twenty-five years, we have catalyzed change by investing over $425 million in 750 ventures, reaching over 28 million students and 200,000 educators. These schools are eliminating learning disparities by producing academic growth that exceeds national benchmarks, and our venture leaders are building organizations that scale. We have a responsibility at NewSchools to sustain our legacy of impact, by building upon what works in education and introducing new solutions in areas that need them most.
