Foundations Overview
The Wallace Foundation’s mission is to enable institutions to expand learning and enrichment opportunities for all people through support and sharing of effective ideas and practices. This is achieved through three key objectives: strengthening education leadership to improve student achievement, improving out-of-school learning opportunities, and building appreciation and demand for the arts.
Our Relationship
Collaborative is the communications firm of record supporting The Wallace Foundation’s communications efforts in out-of-school learning and the arts. We have helped the Foundation to create and implement a utilization strategy for research on quality systems of out-of-school time learning. We supported the design, implementation and evaluation of a national convening on OST in December 2008. For municipal leaders, program developers, funders and practitioners who need to know how to budget for high-quality out-of-school time programming, Collaborative created an interactive cost calculator. This online tools helps to determine the costs of a variety of options for high-quality out-of-school time programs to help inform decision-making and planning.
Our work with The Wallace Foundation continues in 2010 through the implementation of ongoing strategies on quality out-of-school systems, summer learning, and arts integration.
