As part of the effort to bring
Teach For America (TFA) to Washington in 2011, The Seattle Foundation will grant $250,000 to TFA and seek to, at minimum, match that amount through donations from fundholders and other contributors.
Between 2011 and 2013, Teach For America’s goal is to place 150 TFA corps members across three-to-five Puget Sound-area school districts to help close the achievement gap between low-income students and their more affluent peers.
