Abstract: 

For foundations in Minnesota committed to improving public education, is spending money the only way? Is it the best way? Can adding new funds to a huge school district budget result in any meaningful, accountable improvement for students? Is an operating IRC § 501(c)(3) organization making all the impact it can or should on public education? Can our social welfare, health, and criminal justice systems cope effectively at all with more and more undereducated adults? Charter school leaders see great advantage to having an active foundation partner in their efforts, in contrast to school district and college sponsors, which tend to regard their chartered schools as a modest priority.
