Providing Funding, Supplies, and Program Support to Students Most in Need
Research indicates that children from low socioeconomic households or communities and who have less access to technology and programs are more vulnerable to adverse impacts affecting students’ academic progress and outcomes. At Equal Learning Fund, we strive to bridge that gap to help ensure that every child has an equal opportunity for learning.
Equal Learning Fund is an impartial organization that promotes fairness for all children who need additional assistance.
