Our Focus
We aim to disrupt the barriers of systemic oppression in education and cultivate a sense of belonging for Black educators, children, and families.
We will achieve this by supporting the creation of Teacher-led microschools, funding to obtain a Montessori credential, and purposefully designing a thriving Community of Practice.
Investing in Black educators and school founders at every stage of their leadership journey.
Our mission is to remove systemic barriers for Black educators pursuing leadership pathways and designing innovative schools—without requiring them to compromise their freedom, power, identity, or financial security.
75+

Teacher-led schools awarded grants to launch, and sustain their schools.
$1.5 million +
in grants awarded through our School Start-up and Ignite Grant Programs.
To ensure that every Teacher-leader has sufficient capital to launch their microschool, we provide start-up grants to support Black TLs begin from a place of abundance.
To expand Black leadership in Montessori classrooms, we provide grants to Black educators who are actively pursuing Montessori credentials in MACTE training programs.
These microgrants will support Black Teacher Leaders facing unforeseen financial challenges, or requiring funding for innovation at their schools.
