“DCPS would not have been able to accomplish some of our signature reform initiatives to date without private support. Philanthropy has allowed us to be innovative, to push forward reform in tough financial times, and to leverage public dollars more strategically.”

- Kaya Henderson, Chancellor, DC Public Schools
