Mission: Nashville public education foundation works to ensure every child in nashville has access to a great public education that prepares them fully for college, work, and life. The foundation achieves this through raising and managing funds, making strategic investments, and bringing the community together behind needle-moving efforts to accelerate progress.
Programs: The foundation's primary focus is to ensure that students graduate from metropolitan nashville public schools ("mnps") with the skills to pursue and succeed in post-secondary education pursuits. Specifically, the foundation is focused on raising college attendance and college completion rates, increasing the number of high-performing schools, investing in efforts to increase teacher talent and retention, and expanding the capacity of effective early learning programs. The foundation supports a number of initiatives in partnership with mnps by providing assistance with infrastructure and leadership resources. These activities include initiatives in music education, alternative and supplementary educational programming, and the provision of monetary grants directly to mnps.
