City Fund was born from the frontlines of transforming urban education.
Our leaders are innovators who led groundbreaking reforms in some of America's most challenging school systems. We had a bold idea: take hard-won lessons from those successes and use them to increase educational options for kids in cities across the country.
At City Fund, we work to increase educational opportunities for students and families by partnering with city and state leaders to create innovative public school systems. We believe that public schools do best when educators have the power to make decisions that meet the diverse needs of their students, families are provided the information and access to choose the best schools for their children, and schools are held accountable for helping all students succeed.
