Work on Purpose Sponsors

We would like to thank all of our Work on Purpose supporters. In particular, we would like to acknowledge the following key supporters:

Founded in December 2006 by William and Karen Ackman, The Pershing Square Foundation makes leveraged grants to entrepreneurial leaders who through their work facilitate problem solving and change in the areas of education, global health care, human rights, poverty alleviation and the arts.

The Edwin Gould Foundation works in collaboration with innovative non-profit partners to close this achievement gap. We invest time, money and resources to seed and grow educational models that create effective solutions to increase the number of college graduates from under-resourced communities. The Foundation advocates nationally for strong, workable solutions and policies that help motivated yet underserved students enter college, graduate and advance society. At the same time, we demonstrate locally by partnering with a select number of educational non-profits in the New York metropolitan area who are developing effective strategies for student success.

The David Weekley Family Foundation is a venture philanthropy group that invests treasure, talent and time in organizations doing the most for the least. The Foundation aims to reduce global poverty by scaling proven innovations that generate more income for the poor and that provide the poor with access to affordable education and healthcare. It also supports organizations that drive toward sustainability with deep and lasting results.
