OUR STORY RedefinED Atlanta is a locally based nonprofit working to ensure every Metro Atlanta student has access to high-quality public school options. We work closely with families, educators, community partners, and civic leaders to create more trajectory-changing opportunities, incubate and support new ideas, and make lasting improvements in our schools and systems. When RedefinED Atlanta launched in 2016, we were responding to a clear and urgent challenge: far too many students in Atlanta lacked access to the kind of public education that helps young people thrive. And too often, a student’s zip code—not their talent or potential—determines the quality of their schooling. Great schools change everything. That’s why we invest in what works, challenge what doesn’t, and keep our collective community’s voice at the center. From supporting the educator experience to launching new schools and investing in lasting policy change to support public schools, we connect the dots between vision and impact. To date, we’ve raised and leveraged over $70M to support Metro Atlanta public schools and increased access to quality public schools for nearly 15,000 students across 23 schools. Our work is rooted in our core values: • Equity: We strive to serve as an example of what philanthropy can be when it partners with the community. We provide support to meet students’ and families’ different needs and remove barriers by concentrating resources to address inequities., • Integrity: We seek truth, use data to inform decision-making, and operate with honesty. We commit to identifying how we can improve and to making active changes ourselves, before seeking changes in others., • Excellence: We recognize the inequities inherent within our current educational system, and we actively work toward defining a high bar of excellence, disrupting the status quo, and holding ourselves and our partners accountable for outcomes., • Community: We serve communities. Families’ visions and aspirations for their children’s education guide us. We engage in asset-based thinking, leverage existing strengths, and act with compassion. We work with under-resourced communities to achieve great K–12 public schools for all Atlanta students., • Sustainability: We work to make enduring positive change. We resist silver-bullet thinking and simultaneously engage in replicating success and promoting innovation. We balance patience with a sense of urgency, and our immediate actions and quick wins are aligned to our long-term strategy. COMMITMENT TO RACIAL EQUITY AND INCLUSION: We do not and shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion (creed), gender, gender expression, age, national origin (ancestry), disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or military status, in any of its activities or operations. These activities include, but are not limited to, hiring and firing of staff and contractors, selection of volunteers and vendors, and provision of services. We are committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all members of our staff, clients, volunteers, subcontractors, and vendors.
