Stuart Foundation

The Stuart Foundation is a family foundation dedicated to improving life outcomes for young people through education.

We believe that well-resourced and inclusive public education systems underpin vibrant communities, productive and fair economies, and a functioning democracy. They are also foundational to adolescent thriving. The conditions of young people’s lives – immigration status, zip code, income, or system involvement – should not determine their school experience or life outcomes.

We envision transformed school systems that accelerate academic success and foster creativity, critical thinking, agency, and belonging.

We believe schools should be places where all young people – across all types of difference, including race, class, gender, sexual orientation, language, and ability – feel loved, engage in joyful learning, and are prepared for a purposeful and successful life.
