Transforming Education Guidelines

The Hyde Family Foundations seek proposals that focus on three critical ingredients to closing the achievement gap: schools, people and advocacy. 

Schools
The Foundations believe that all successful schools share certain characteristics, but we recognize that excellence in education can be achieved through multiple delivery systems, thus, we are open to all efforts that apply proven gap-closing models.

People
Successful school systems are built on foundations of human capital, and we accept proposals that focus on attracting, developing and retaining the best talent in the field of education.

Effective Public Policy
We support public policies that expand educational opportunities, empower strong leadership, enable school-based decision-making, and ensure that our state’s graduation requirements are aligned with college and work force readiness.
