Key Collective/#areUincard - The KEY Collective envisions every child without the financial means having the same opportunities available to their peers, available to them, without any social stigma attached.
Mott Foundation - Mott works to increase access to quality educational opportunities for all children — particularly those from low-income families and underserved communities.
Students who attend afterschool and summer programs are better prepared for work and life. They attend school more, make gains in reading and math, improve their grades and have higher graduation rates. And they develop positive social skills and improve their behavior during the school day.
Mott's interest in afterschool and summer learning programs spans 80 years of support, from the early development of community schools through their partnership with the U.S. Department of Education’s 21st Century Community Learning Centers program. Now serving more than 1.6 million children and youth at 11,000 sites across the country, these local programs provide a wealth of practical information and data on the impact of and need for afterschool and summer learning opportunities.
Mott is dedicated to making afterschool and summer learning programs available for every child and family who needs them. Through their support of afterschool networks in all 50 states, as well as key national education organizations, their grantmaking helps to inform policies, develop partnerships and shape practices that will sustain and increase the quality of local programs across the U.S.
Currently, their grantmaking focuses on three areas: Building an afterschool infrastructure; fostering afterschool policy, and improving afterschool quality and innovation.
