EdVestors

Founded in 2002 as a platform to connect Boston philanthropists with the city’s public schools by identifying, shaping, and matching donors with promising improvement efforts, EdVestors’ work has evolved to couple the mobilization of resources with implementation support and thought leadership. Throughout our evolution, our commitment to the city’s schools and students has remained constant.

Our mission is to advance equitable, meaningful education that prepares every Boston student to activate their power and shape their future. We work at the classroom, school, and district level to drive change in Boston schools. We serve as a:

• Connector that partners with the district, schools, community-based organizations, higher education, and philanthropy to advance efforts in issue areas that are a priority for schools and students.
• Catalyst for systems change in Boston, creating pathways from classroom to career, ensuring access to arts education, improving math teaching and learning, and seeding racial equity efforts in schools.
• Champion that shines a light on the teachers, leaders, and schools who create and continuously improve learning environments where all students can thrive.

Working with key education, civic, and community partners, EdVestors leverages our relationships, our long-term leadership in the Boston education landscape, and our credibility to drive systems and policy change. At the core of our work are our five signature programs and initiatives: the School on the Move Prize, Boston Public Schools Arts Expansion, Mathematics, Career Pathways, and Racial Equity.
