The Chicago Public Education Fund

grants totaling $45.4 million. These grants had a measurable, positive impact on Chicago’s public schools and improved outcomes for the students they serve. Most notably, we seeded a vibrant nonprofit community that has trained and developed 25 percent of principals and 10 percent of teachers currently in Chicago’s public schools. Today, The Fund remains committed to making Chicago the first city in the nation with world-class public schools for all. We work toward this vision by investing in programs, initiatives and organizations that train, support and retain outstanding principals citywide. In late 2013, we launched Fund 4 to do just that. Our goal is simple: to bring the vision of a world-class public education to all students. Fund 4 aims to more than double the number of high-performing principals in Chicago by 2018 and to enable our city’s best educators to transform teaching and learning in their schools. Through this effort, we will positively impact more than 120,000 students. To learn more about how you can join us in our work, visit: http://thefundchicago.org/invest-in-chicagos-public-schools/.
