About Fort Worth Education Partnership
Fort Worth Education Partnership Inc. concentrates its grantmaking on building teacher pipelines, school improvement, and family engagement in the Fort Worth area, with a mission centered on expanding access to high-quality education for Fort Worth children. One visible thread in the recent grants is support for public-school systems and school partners that are working on staffing, operations, and student achievement. In 2025, the foundation awarded $1,000,000 to Rocketship Public Schools for an education model, showing that it can make very large commitments when it backs a school design it wants to advance. Another major award went to Illumination Education in Arlington for start up school operations, at $875,000 in 2024, which fits the organization’s interest in school incubation and implementation support. The foundation also funded Fort Worth ISD for strategic staffing and teacher residency work, indicating a direct interest in how schools recruit, prepare, and retain educators. Across the grant list, the foundation’s portfolio connects K-12 access, educator development, and community-based supports tied to local public education.
What Fort Worth Education Partnership Funds
Teacher preparation is one of the clearest themes in the grant record. The foundation gave $748,117 to Texas Tech Foundation for teacher preparation in 2025, and another $100,000 to Texas Wesleyan University to build out teacher residency in 2025. It also supported the University of North Texas with $100,000 for the same purpose. Family and parent leadership are another recurring area: New Venture Fund received $520,580 in 2023 and $320,000 in 2024 for parent leadership program work, while Uplift Education got $16,000 in 2025 for parent advocacy efforts. On the student-support side, Harmony Public Schools received $150,000 in 2025 for an alumni school organizing effort, and T3 Partnership received $15,000 in 2023 for summer ed programing.
How Fort Worth Education Partnership Gives
Typical awards are sized around a median of $78,722, with a lower quartile of $15,250 and an upper quartile of $226,500. The recent list includes both seven-figure and five-figure grants, so the foundation uses a wide range of check sizes depending on the project. Several recipients appear in multiple years, including Responsive Ed USA, New Venture Fund, Texas Tech Foundation, The Educator Collective, Latino Ed Equity Partnership, and Braver Together, which suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-off awards. The funder is a regular grantmaker, not a DAF or PRI vehicle, and the active grant programs are all tied to invited strategic work rather than unsolicited applications.
