To reach teachers working in communities across the country, Fund for Teachers partners with local education foundations and philanthropic organizations. Together we market the program, manage and support applicants, conduct selection processes and fund grants.
Perhaps our favorite aspect of these collaborations happens each fall, when many of these like-minded organizations host events at which FFT Fellows showcase fellowships completed that summer.This month, the Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence and the Public Education Foundation – Chattanooga celebrated Fellows’ accomplishments and the Martha Holden Jennings Foundation and Dalio Education are upcoming.
Here is an example of how Rowena Williams shared her fellowship, which included visiting the family and teachers of current student, Yadira, in her Guatemalan hometown.
