Given the importance of education in building strong individuals, families, and communities, and the primacy of literacy in enabling people to succeed, the Foundation invests in organizations, programs, and projects outside of the public schools that achieve results aligned with the two objectives outlined below. Please note that the "Results Sought" reflect the specific outcomes of interest to us.
| Objective 1) | Increase access for disadvantaged children and youth to high-quality academic opportunities. |
| Objective 2) | Promote excellence in education for disadvantaged children and youth in non-public in-school, after school, early childhood, and other settings, with a particular emphasis on initiatives that expand and/or enhance multiple programs across a system. |
