The Foundation is a non-profit agency founded to support the University. Established in 1959, the Foundation has seen continual growth in staff to support the growing number of grants and contracts awarded. The Promise Neighborhoods Initiative is a U.S. Department of Education initiative launched in April 2010 focused on breaking the cycle of inter-generational poverty by significantly improving the educational and developmental outcomes and overall life prospects of children and youth in our most distressed communities. Inspired by the success of Harlem Children’s Zone, the Obama Administration has followed through on campaign promises to alleviate poverty with a national commitment to this comprehensive education-centered, place-based approach to support children from birth to college and career. The core idea behind the initiative is that providing both effective schools and strong systems of support to children and youth in poverty and, thus, meeting their health, social services, and educational needs, will offer them the best hope for a better life.
