Creating a brighter future for every child—every day. Foundations, Inc. is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization committed to enhancing educational quality by strengthening the skills of educators. We believe that supporting educators is the best way to improve educational experiences for America’s children and youth – throughout the day, everywhere they learn. Here at Foundations, we are dedicated to creating positive learning experiences for children and helping them thrive. We equip educators with cutting-edge tools and resources, enrich their skillsets through high-quality professional development, and lessen their administrative load so they can focus more on their students. Everything we do is evidence-based. We rely on high-quality peer-reviewed research to ensure that the advice and tools we provide are effective. To keep us grounded in reality, we operate a limited number of afterschool programs where we can explore best practices and test new techniques. Our approach is inclusive – from students, to teachers, to school leaders. Through support services, professional development, and educational resources we are creating a brighter future for every child – every day.
