Miller Foundation education-focused grants go to organizations working to create a more holistic and equitable K-12 education system that provides a supportive learning environment and high-quality education to all students, including those furthest from opportunity. Together, we can help Oregon students, families, teachers, and schools achieve success.
We fund community-based organizations supporting K-12 teachers, youth, and families. These include efforts to support teacher effectiveness and student success in core subjects, and to improve school culture and leadership. We prioritize funding for organizations with strong school partnerships and demonstrated outcomes that specifically serve students furthest from opportunity.
