Contributors

We rely on progressive, open-minded individuals, foundations and companies to provide financial support that closes the gap between engagement fees and the real costs to drive the kind of visionary change we imagine and the skills and mindsets we help learners develop.
These organizations have provided financial support to build HFLI capacity, develop our innovation-based curriculum, engage educators in professional development focused on culturally responsive education, immerse teens in entrepreneurship camps – and, early on – plan, launch and sustain our schools.
