“The Schott Foundation is driving real change for young people and communities of color across a spectrum of pressing issues, including preparing social justice leaders to understand AI and shape how it's built. Schott is building the connective tissue this movement needs, and Omidyar Network is proud to be their partner.”

“Creating lasting change in communities requires partners who know how to bring people together around a shared purpose. Schott Foundation is a trusted convener and partner, bringing philanthropy, community leaders and the next generation of changemakers together to invest in youth leadership and advance solutions that strengthen communities, expand opportunities for young people and improve youth well-being. We are grateful to be part of that shared commitment.”

“It is incredibly important that we maintain momentum to transform our education system and create meaningful opportunities for all students. Without community partners, their expertise, and a commitment to building their capacity in campaign strategy, our education system and society as a whole risk remaining stagnant, leaving root causes unaddressed and students’ civil rights unmet. Strong partnerships, like Schott’s, are essential to ensuring that we move toward a society where every child has an equal opportunity to receive a high-quality education.”

“Schott is more than just a funder, they are a true partner in our work to transform systems to better meet the needs of our youth. Their support enables us to work on a statewide basis, supporting local action movements in pursuit of educational equity and fairness, and to mobilize and work with other organizations and partners to drive reform at the legislative level. They consistently uplift our research and public education campaigns. A true valuable partner in our efforts to ensure equal opportunity and justice for all young people.”

“The Schott Foundation gave youth and families the opportunity to advocate with the California Partnership for the Future of Learning at the Capitol for community schools to become a permanent part of the vision for public education. Later, $1 billion in ongoing annual funding was allocated to community schools so thousands more students will grow up in schools built around joyful and just learning.”

“Giving to the Schott Foundation is an investment in the promise, brilliance, and well-being of our young people. I give because I believe every young person deserves to know that their community sees them, values them, and believes in their ability to shape the future. That is what love looks like in action. My investment is love multiplied.”

“Schott Foundation has been a long-standing partner in our work to build a powerful, statewide movement for education justice in North Carolina. Schott's support has helped us strengthen our grassroots organizing, power-build with our communities across the state, and build the communications capacity needed to ensure that the experiences and leadership of Black, Brown, and directly impacted students and families shape the public narrative about education. Schott has invested not only in our organization, but in long-term power building in North Carolina.”

“Schott Foundation’s trust with philanthropic and public policy organizations, like Children’s Defense Fund, accelerates action for children and youth. On a challenging landscape, child advocates and movement leaders work hard to maintain proximity and build power in our communities. It’s helpful to know Schott Foundation is cultivating relationship with foundations to shine light on this vital work.”
