Equity in Education Coalition

About Equity in Education Coalition

Equity in Education Coalition channels most of its recent grantmaking into digital equity, with repeat support for Communitys in Schools WA at $1,083,332 in 2023 and $1,000,000 in 2024 for digital equity and digital navigation. That pattern sits inside a broader portfolio built to eliminate the opportunity gap and promote birth-through-career success for children of color in Washington State. The foundation’s giving is local and concentrated entirely in Washington, and its grant list shows sustained investment in organizations that help communities access devices, connectivity, and technical support. The coalition also pairs direct service with movement-building. Its recent grants include substantial support for Freshstart, Northwest Center, Tribal Technology Training, and Unidos Nueva Alianza Foundation, all tied to digital equity and navigation. Other grants reach culturally specific and community-based organizations such as the Filipino Community of Seattle, Khmer Community of Seattle & King County, and Latinos En Spokane, showing a consistent interest in helping specific communities participate more fully in education and technology systems. Across the portfolio, the common thread is education access, racial equity, and practical support for organizations serving children, youth, and families.

What Equity in Education Coalition Funds

Digital equity is the clearest throughline in the coalition’s recent grants. It gave $424,600 to Freshstart for digital equity and digital navigation, and $214,985 to Northwest Center for the same purpose. Tribal Technology Training received $181,872, while Unidos Nueva Alianza Foundation was awarded $166,750. The foundation also supports community-based groups serving specific populations. It granted $140,000 to Mission Africa and another $140,000 to Cambodian American Council of WA, both for digital equity and digital navigation. Latinos En Spokane received $110,000 in 2024, and $75,000 in 2023, indicating repeated support for the same organization. Beyond digital access, Equity in Education Coalition has backed communications and anti-racist education work. In 2024 it awarded $50,000 to Fuse Innovation Fund (communications Hub), and its active TCARE Educator Fellowship points to educator professional development focused on anti-racist education.
