At the Ed Fund, we incubate promising practices and systems, demonstrate how these are beneficial via implementation and evaluation, and disseminate best practices to the field.
The Ed Fund is an independent nonprofit organization that fulfills its mission through funding provided by private donors, foundations, corporations, and public sources.
Throughout our history, we have developed a particular expertise in preparing teachers for successful careers in the School District of Philadelphia. Through our own and others’ research and practice, we know that great teachers lead to exceptional student outcomes. We impact 1,000 teachers and 10,000 students across Philadelphia.
