Imagination Meets Impact
Learning, to Change Our Future
Learning is crucial to individual and family well-being. It’s also key to building thriving, more equitable and healthier societies. Too often, current education systems reproduce inequities and create barriers to opportunity. As a social change funder, we invest in people, ideas and partnerships that disrupt patterns of inequity and spark transformation for learners of all ages in Brazil, Kenya, South Africa and the United States.
