BURTON D MORGAN FOUNDATION INC

Morgan foundation supports entrepreneurship education for youth through a market-based platform on which educators decide what is funded using a points-based system. Through yippee exchange, high-quality educational resources are available on the site; educators use points to acquire these resources; and providers are paid based on what educators secure. The marketplace builds student skills and exposes students to entrepreneurs in their communities.

The foundation has partnered with the edward lowe foundation to provide educational programming to accelerate success for second-stage businesses. The programs focus on peer learning, leadership education, and strategic information. The two foundations share a mission to champion free enterprise and entrepreneurship.

The foundation provides support to five higher education institutions with implementing and maintaining their neolaunchnet programs. Neolaunchnet is a regional signature initiative that seeks to inspire a culture of innovation on college and university campuses, building upon the unique assets and strengths of each school, and sparking the entrepreneurial mindset in enterprising students. The foundation staff facilitates and coordinates the program in northeast ohio.
