Strong fields are an important condition for the changes we seek. We take a field-strengthening approach—investing in research, capacity, infrastructure and leadership to ensure that changes are built to last, equity is embedded, and all learners flourish.
How We Work
From Possibility to Progress
At the heart of our work is a deep commitment to impact—focused on sparking lasting change. We invest in the people, systems and ideas that move communities toward greater equity and a future where everyone thrives. Built on relationships and grounded in collaboration, we focus on strengthening ecosystems of education that provide local leadership with the tools, resources and momentum needed to create enduring change. We draw on global insights to inform our approach and also work to ensure we are listening and responsive to local realities that will enable durable progress.

Rooted in Collaboration
Progress happens together. By listening to those closest to the challenges, we build relationships and work collectively on solutions. Engaging varied perspectives not only opens up new pathways to thriving, it also allows us to learn, adapt, and unlearn—evolving toward greater impact together.

First Mover
We embrace thoughtful risk, knowing that first action can ignite meaningful change. We aren’t afraid to think differently or step into new spaces—alone or with others—in the pursuit of creating the future we imagine.

Embracing Change
Our world is complex and changing more rapidly than ever before. As contexts evolve, we refine our understanding together with our partners and adjust to ensure we can address challenges and seize new opportunities.

Looking Below the Surface (Sometimes Called “Systems Thinking”)
We take a long view. We strive to look beyond surface challenges to create more durable change. Together with our partners, we examine how systems interact and focus on the big picture. This allows us to better understand and identify interconnected solutions that drive systemic change, dismantle barriers, and help shape a future full of thriving leaders.
