Collective Impact Fund

The Collective Impact Fund develops programming through a cohort model based on subject and age focus.

Our first cohort leverages three innovative and complementary early literacy products to address the literacy gap prevalent in low-income communities: Outschool, Ello, and Lovevery’s Reading Skill Set.

We are recruiting additional companies to join the initial cohort or future cohorts. Participating companies contribute both cash to Outschool.org to run the program and donated products.
