The Wonder Arc Fund seeks to narrow the education gap between lower-income and higher-income children and better educational and life outcomes for children from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Drawing on evidence from research on positive deviance, Wonder Arc will fund programs that build up protective factors to empower children to overcome the odds stacked against them. The 3 fund pillars are:
– Increasing literacy and numeracy gains
– Developing socio-emotional competencies like growth mindsets
– Building aspirations
Funding will go towards supporting social service agencies and educational or EdTech providers, or build partnerships between them, to journey with every child across all 3 fund pillars.
