FUELING TEACHERS, SCHOOLS, & COMMUNITIES
Every child in Memphis should have access to a great public school education. Memphis Education Fund is committed to making this vision a reality through our strategic investments in schools and advocacy for student-centered approaches to policies and programs.
Memphis Education Fund was created to provide alignment across sectors of an often isolated education landscape, leading to a more integrated, collaborative, and accountable approach to improving schools.
