You may notice we have a new look for spring. Welcome to our new website. We hope you feel at home here. Spring is a universal metaphor for the start of better times. And this year, opportunities for growth seem especially appealing.
Quality K-12 Public Education
Topics: Public Education Initiative
MMT invested nearly $17 million in support of Quality K-12 Public Education between 2003 and 2010. The aim of this initiative is to improve the quality of Oregon's K-12 public schools and to close the achievement gap and raise graduation rates and college or work readiness for high school students across the state.
This Initiative has funded Chalkboard Project since that project began. Previously, MMT supported Oregon Small Schools Initiative until it ended in 2010.
Initiatives
After 25 years of grantmaking, Meyer Memorial Trust engaged FSG Social Impact Advisors to help us increase our social impact, provide greater clarity of purpose and prepare for continuous improvement. Included in this assessment was an examination of ways MMT could better address some of the most critical needs in Oregon. The planning process was designed to identify opportunities that reflected the needs of the state and build upon MMT’s history, values, interests, and capabilities.
