What We Do
Turning resources into results
Education Foundations partners with charter school networks, state education agencies, authorizers, school districts, and non-public schools to secure funding, strengthen compliance, and build the leadership capacity that turns resources into results.
Strategic Resource Acquisition & Management
We treat resource strategy as a function of transformational leadership, not a back-office task. Using our IMPACTS framework and Resource Opportunity Matrix, we help leaders build a diversified, sequenced funding strategy that serves the mission — not just the next deadline.
Grant Writing & Reporting
Competitive, formula, and private grant applications — from letter of intent through annual performance reporting and closeout.
Monitoring & Audit Readiness
Mock monitoring reviews, readiness assessments, and compliance protocols that prepare your team before a real monitor arrives.
Executive Leadership Coaching
Tailored coaching that strengthens team dynamics and organizational culture.
Litigation & Expert Witness Support
Expert analysis and testimony in federal and state litigation involving education funding and grant compliance.
