Daniels Fund School-Business Partnerships
The sense of urgency to turn around low-performing schools and ensure all students achieve at high levels has never been greater. Increasingly, businesses are stepping up to help. Some have “adopted” an entire school or classroom, providing generous financial support and human resources on an ongoing basis. Others have donated school supplies or completed one-time community service projects at the school.
What is significant about the contributions of these businesses is their emphasis on helping students learn. A partnership between a school and a business can prove beneficial to both partners if the right components are in place.
In 2005, the Daniels Fund conducted extensive research to learn why some school-business partnerships are more effective than others. Our findings, tips for successful strategies and tools are captured on this Web site. Welcome!
