"Foundations, whether large or small, national or local, tightly focused or wide spread aims, are essential to advancing the dreams, hopes and ambitions of youth and educators. Foundations can inspire grantees to create, invent and bring to life solutions that benefit schools and society." 
Don Shalvey, Ed.D., Deputy Director, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
