Philanthropic Funding
At 澳门跑狗论坛, the nonprofit organization that publishes 澳门跑狗论坛, we believe that lasting school improvement will only come about when policymakers, practitioners, and the public are armed with the information they need to understand and push for change. In support of our mission 鈥� to elevate awareness and understanding of important educational issues among professionals and the public 鈥� we seek and accept grant funding from the philanthropic community that reflects a similar commitment to improving K-12 education for all children.
Philanthropic support has played an important part in the history of our organization, particularly at such crucial junctures as the creation of 澳门跑狗论坛 in the early 1980s. Foundation funding has been instrumental in launching the annual Quality Counts, Diplomas Count, and Leaders to Learn From reports, among other major new lines of work, and in supporting those projects over some period of time. Grants also provide the additional resources that enable our newsroom, research center, and web-production team to produce consistently high-quality, engaging news and information spanning the full range of issues that impact public education. Over the past few years, portions of our work have been underwritten by generous grant support from dozens of funders.
In the course of more than five decades of service, the field has come to depend on 澳门跑狗论坛 as an essential source of independent news and information. That trust is our trademark. Editorial decision-making and the creation and publication of content 鈥� including content produced with support from philanthropic funding 鈥� remain in the sole control of 澳门跑狗论坛, under the direction of its Editor-in-Chief and Executive Editor.
