The Schott Foundation for Public Education is a non-profit organization based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with a team of 25 employees. The foundation is dedicated to promoting quality public education for all children, particularly those from low-income backgrounds and students of color. The Schott Foundation supports grassroots campaigns focused on education reform at the city, state, and federal levels. Their grantmaking strategy aims to create healthy living and learning communities and ensure equitable access to high-quality educational resources. The organization also provides grantees with additional support through network building, policy analysis, and communications.
