Mission & Focus Areas
The organization’s stated mission is that by 2040, at least half of Dallas County residents ages 25 to 34, irrespective of race, will earn a living wage. Its 2023 filing describes three program areas: postsecondary access and success; PreK–12 initiatives; and statewide policy programming. These focus on pathways to postsecondary credentials, effective instruction and educational leadership, and student-centered, data-informed policy.
The filing says grants are awarded to organizations based on alignment with the organization’s mission and initiatives, and that grantees are monitored through interim and/or final reports about fund use and outcomes. The 2025 grants include substantial support for education and community organizations. For example, Education is Freedom describes its mission as transforming lives through education; United to Learn says it changes lives by transforming the relationship between school and community; and SustainED Leaders says it partners with schools to improve teaching and learning. These are the grantees’ descriptions of their own work.
