Our partners include the leading foundations involved in urban education reform. Since PCSD’s inception in 2004, we have received investments, totaling $40.9 million in combined Project Equity and Operational Support, from the following funders to PCSD (and indirectly to benefit PCSD’s school clients):

• NewSchools Venture Fund
• The Ahmanson Foundation
• The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
• The Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation
• The Pisces Foundation
• The Walton Family Foundation
• The Weingart Foundation

These organizations support PCSD’s adherence to the “triple bottom line” philosophy embraced by some of today’s most creative and result-focused philanthropists. As a result, we provide supporters with the highest possible social return on their invested dollars.

Having already arranged for the sale of several of its projects at cost to its school clients, PCSD has quickly been able to recycle much of the Project Equity dollars to invest in multiple projects. Funders are thus rewarded by seeing a greater positive impact on communities for every dollar they contribute.
