The Wallace Foundation seeks to improve education and enrichment for disadvantaged children and foster the vitality of arts for everyone. The foundation has an unusual approach: funding efforts to test innovative ideas for solving important public problems, conducting research to find out what works and what doesn’t and to fill key knowledge gaps – and then communicating the results to help others. Wallace, which works nationally, has five major initiatives under way:

School leadership: Strengthening education leadership to improve student achievement.
Afterschool: Helping selected cities make good afterschool programs available to many more children.
Building audiences for the arts: Enabling arts organizations to bring the arts to a broader and more diverse group of people.
Arts education: Expanding arts learning opportunities for children and teens.
Summer and expanded learning: Better understanding the impact of high-quality summer learning programs on disadvantaged children, and enriching and expanding the school day in ways that benefit students.
