Philanthropy Advocates
Philanthropy Advocates, a collaboration with Educate Texas, was created to protect, promote, and improve public education in Texas so that all students can achieve their educational goals from cradle to career. The Powell Foundation provides support for Philanthropy Advocates’ research and advocacy efforts related to early childhood, effective teaching, and pathways to college and career.
E3 Alliance
E3 Alliance seeks to transform education systems through data and collaboration so that all students can succeed.
