"Private funding resources are crucial to making DC's public education system excellent."
~ Mayor Adrian M. Fenty

"We need the support of the community and private funders to allow us to enact dynamic and essential changes."
~Chancellor Michelle Rhee

"Overhauling one of the worst-performing school districts in the country will take a philanthropic commitment for the strategic investments that the system itself, for political reasons, is not going to be able to make. In Adrian Fenty and Michelle Rhee, DC Public Schools have the leaders the system needs to bring about real reform. And in the DC Public Education Fund, the business and philanthropic community has its tool to fund the aforementioned critical strategic investments."
~NYC Chancellor Joel Klein

"Substantive engagement, undertaken by the business and philanthropic community around projects aligned with the city's plans, can be a strong and healthy chapter in this unfolding story of successful reform in DC."
~Katherine B. Bradley, City Bridge Foundation
