Schott Foundation for Public Education
2008 With OSI support, the Schott Foundation will fund its Black Male Donor Collaborative. The collaborative grew out of the work of the Pipeline Crisis/Winning Strategies initiative ("Winning Strategies") launched by Sullivan & Cromwell and Goldman Sachs in 2006 in response to increasing media attention directed at the crisis affecting black men and boys. The Black Male Donor Collaborative's overarching goal is to raise the academic performance, graduation rates and college and employment readiness rates for black males in New York City. The mission will be achieved through strategic grantmaking to support: identification of research-based scalable program interventions that represent best and promising practices; ongoing research and evaluation of programs and strategies; identification of and advocacy for targeted, effective policy recommendations to yield systemic change; and projects that have systemic impact or can be taken to scale in a public school or community-based organization. $300,000 | 2 years | www.schottfoundation.org |
