A community of people promoting educational choice and innovation, with a specific focus on school vouchers, scholarship tax credit programs and educational savings accounts.

Host fellowship programs to train former recipients of school choice programs and community leaders to promote school choice.

Expenses: $5.0M

Conferences: conduct or participate in training seminars, conferences, and small donor events for scholars and activists to develop strategies for advancing and promoting school choice around the country.
