Insights Gained from an Equity-Centered Strategic Learning Initiative

From May 2020 to September 2021, Mathematica partnered with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Catalyst:Ed, and nine K–12 education grantees to launch the Capacity Building for Strategic Learning initiative. The goal of the initiative was to provide grantees the learning support and tools needed to embed equity into their organizational goals, learning, and practices and enhance organizational strategy.

Mathematica and Catalyst:Ed worked closely with these educational nonprofit organizations to learn about the grantee experience, provide resources that matched their strategic learning needs, and generate evidence that could provide funders deep insights about why investing in capacity building matters.
