K-12 Education Reform

Bill Daniels had a strong conviction that all kids deserve a great education. His trust in the free market system made him a firm believer in competition and alternative approaches, particularly those that provide high-quality choices. The Daniels Fund honors his direction through its support of K-12 educational reform initiatives such as charter schools, portable vouchers for tuition assistance, and significant innovations that challenge the status quo. 

Please note: The Daniels Fund recently narrowed its approach in education reform funding as outlined below, and it may be helpful to speak to a Program Officer before submitting a grant application.
