The Wallace Foundation – Education Leadership & Arts Participation
Description edit
The Wallace Foundation seeks to support and share effective ideas and practices that will strengthen education leadership, arts participation and out-of-school learning.
Introduction
A legacy of DeWitt and Lila Acheson Wallace, creators of The Reader’s Digest Association, The Wallace Foundation has grown to become the 28th largest private foundation in terms of assets in the United States. Through an integrated, team-based approach involving research and communications, in addition to grant-making, the Foundation extends its influence beyond its direct grantees. This is a recognition that significant and sustainable change in our education and cultural systems requires information and insight, and the Foundation had set as its strategy to be a “knowledge center” for policy-makers and practitioners in its areas of focus.
The Foundation’s mission is to enable institutions to expand learning and enrichment opportunities for all people. We do this by supporting and sharing effective ideas and practices. To achieve our mission we have three objectives: strengthening education leadership to enhance student achievement; improving after-school learning opportunities; and expanding participation in arts and culture.
