City Fund

City Fund is a philanthropic organization dedicated to supporting city-based non-profit groups in their efforts to enhance public education outcomes for local children. By investing in these organizations, City Fund aims to increase the number of high-performing public schools in cities and improve overall education results for disadvantaged children.

City Fund's mission is multifaceted. It not only provides financial support to non-profit organizations, but also offers advisory services and convenes influential stakeholders in the education sector. In the realm of advising, City Fund assists city-based non-profit organizations that are taking a leading role in creating new, high-quality public schools and developing educator talent pipelines. This guidance helps these organizations build strong foundations and effectively engage their communities to foster educational improvements.

Furthermore, City Fund furnishes funding to non-profit organizations that are focused on improving public schools and creating affiliated educational programming for disadvantaged children. Through strategic grantmaking, City Fund invests in the most effective and high-impact organizations, ensuring that their efforts yield positive results in the development and growth of high-quality public schools.

Lastly, City Fund convenes city-based education non-profit leaders and other key stakeholders, bringing them together to learn from one another and share best practices in various communities of practice. These events provide valuable opportunities for non-profit leaders, funders, and other stakeholders to discuss different approaches to improving public education and collaborate on new insights, ultimately strengthening the collective impact on disadvantaged children.
