What Makes Us Different

Community-Driven Change

Put community first.
Align around a co-designed vision.
Provide on-the-ground support.
Cultivate exceptional talent.
Provide long-term, results-focused capital.

We already know the path to change. The challenge isn’t knowing what works—it’s unleashing the power of community leaders inside and outside school systems to pursue a shared and bold vision for change.

The Bay Ed Fund is a non-profit that invests in local communities and districts. An all-in strategic partner and unconventional funder, the Bay Ed Fund leverages decades of experience, research, and the power of families and communities to support transformative change in schools. 

We know that how we forge the path to meaningful, lasting change is vital. Top-down change doesn’t work, and bottom-up change is often insufficient on its own. We deploy a fundamentally different approach where all stakeholders in a community have the opportunity to develop a shared vision that transforms outcomes and experiences for all students.
