  Education nonprofits aim to close the achievement gap between middle-class and poor students. In order to increase the likelihood of their success, money collected from grants, the government, and donors allows these organizations to provide these children with a variety of programs and resources:

  • training volunteers to provide programming that ensures that all children are ready for kindergarten
  • effective teacher recruitment
  • training and professional development to teachers and administrators
  • organize extracurricular programs
  • provide educational materials and other important resources that may be in short supply 
  
  
  This geospatial map of the United States clearly illustrates one of the primary issues deep rooted in our inherently flawed education system: funding inequity. On a local, state, and national level, drastic disparities in funding and access to resources deny many students a proper education, leaving millions of students behind annually. On a global scale, as one can imagine, this education inequity is even more prominent. Education philanthropy exists to diminish the wide gap in education funding.
