Upcoming Events
Giving+Together: Higher Education
Studies show that higher education provides numerous life benefits and offers an intergenerational pathway out of poverty. Yet high-income, white students are more than twice as likely to graduate from college compared to their low-income peers of color. How can we minimize the achievement gap in higher education?
At this webinar, hear from three speakers as they highlight programs that provide college preparation and support to low-income, new Americans and BIPOC students. Learn how these initiatives are helping students prepare for and navigate postsecondary experiences, leading to higher retention rates in school and overall academic success.

Giving+Together: Early Childhood Education
The first three years of a child’s life provide the necessary building blocks for educational achievement, economic productivity, healthy lives and stronger communities. This period ensures a strong foundation for future development, and it is essential that parents, caregivers, practitioners and policymakers stay informed about how to support children and families during this critical stage.
Representatives from Think Small, West Central Initiative, Children’s Defense Fund Minnesota and Montessori American Indian Childcare Center joined us to share how they advocate for early childhood education in the communities they serve.
