Birmingham Education Foundation

The Birmingham Education Foundation, also known as Ed, is a non-profit organization founded in 2010 with a focus on education. Their slogan, "We help ensure our students are on the path to academic excellence and life readiness. #WeAreEdBirmingham" embodies their mission to prepare students for their futures. What They Do: Ed's unique focus is on "Network-Building," aiming to increase the number of students in Birmingham City Schools on the path to college, career, and life readiness. They achieve this through direct programming for students and interactive opportunities for network members. Their initiatives, Educate Local and Raise Up!, offer innovative opportunities for students and network members to engage in essential skills training, address strategic priorities, and participate in collective action. Why They Do It: Ed believes that committed relationships across differences can change everything and is deeply committed to the potential of both the students and the city of Birmingham. They are driven by the belief that students deserve support and the future of Birmingham depends on it. Latest Investment: Their most recent investment, a grant from Jordan BCC Community Grants, was received on February 17, 2023, further supporting their initiatives. Overall, the Birmingham Education Foundation's work is centered around cultivating a supportive and diverse network that empowers students and community members, ultimately contributing to the city's future.
