We believe all children should have access to a high quality education that helps them acquire the knowledge and skills to find a rewarding career, manage their lives, and fully participate in society. Enhancing educational opportunities will better prepare the next generation for personal and professional success. The Foundation supports early childhood, primary, secondary, and higher education programs that:

• Encourage early literacy development
• Attract and support high-quality new teachers
• Promote innovative teaching strategies and curricula and share best practices
• Build the skills and confidence of low-performing students through academic enrichment programs both in and after school
• Enhance creativity through arts education and student access to cultural institutions
• Prepare students for college and the workforce
• Improve access to higher education for minorities and women
• Improve student and curriculum development at graduate and undergraduate business programs
