Who We Are
Siegel Family Endowment supports organizations working at the intersections of learning, workforce, and infrastructure.
Technological change has radically altered the way we live, work, and learn. The transformation of the global economy has impacted society on every level—from schools to the workplace to our built environment —and altered the terms on which people are able to access opportunities and thrive in daily life. In order to address the biggest challenges we face today, we aim to ensure all people have the tools and equitable access to systems necessary to engage with and affect change in a rapidly evolving world.

PAPER RELEASE
Schools as Community Infrastructure
What opportunities exist for positive change—for our children, families, educators, and communities—when we reimagine schools as vital public infrastructure? We believe that exploring this question is critical if we are to begin to address the vast inequities and challenges facing public education. Many practitioners all over the country are already placing school at the heart of community and community at the heart of school. This paper amplifies this work in the hope of spurring conversation, community engagement, and action.
