About Kipp Team and Family Schools
Kipp Team and Family Schools Inc. directs its largest recent grant to Kipp Cooper Norcross Academy, with $5,820,892 in 2024 for support and expansion of KCNA public schools in Camden, NJ. That grant reflects the organization’s school-network model: funding is aimed at growing and sustaining public charter schools rather than making broad, one-off program awards. The recent record also shows a second major stream to Team Academy Charter Schools Inc. in Newark, including $2,234,156 in 2023 and $1,099,921 in 2024 for support and expansion of TEAM public schools. A separate grant to Committee for School Equality Inc. links the funder’s education work with policy support, with $1,000,000 in 2023 to promote policies that improve educational opportunities in Newark and across New Jersey. The overall picture is a funder built around school replication, network development, and city-level education improvement in places where KIPP schools operate.
