The Kovner Foundation promotes excellence in public and private education by supporting public charter schools that make measurable improvements in children’s lives and supporting educational choice and competition through vouchers, scholarships and other initiatives that give parents and students options.
Closing the Achievement Gap
The Foundation partners, including Achievement First, Success Academy Charter Schools, and Uncommon Charter Schools, are realizing extraordinary success on metrics ranging from test scores to graduation rates, college enrollment and completion. These organizations are closing the achievement gap for children in under-served communities that suffer because of inadequate traditional public schools.

Education Reform and School Choice
The Foundation supports organizations that advance educational excellence for every child through quality research, analysis, commentary and advocating bold solutions and comprehensive responses to education challenges. We support organizations that promote educational choice with a special focus on school vouchers, scholarship tax credit programs and education savings accounts.
The Foundation rewards academic achievement and ambition by providing scholarships to students who have demonstrated leadership, strength of character, and determination.
The Foundation advocates for an opportunity society that promotes a strong economy, provides effective and meaningful education for all, and helps the disadvantaged achieve a better life for themselves and their children.
