Public Education Grants
Founded in 1970, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), is a national network of local grassroots organizations with over 350,000 low and moderate income members in 110 cities and 39 states. ACORN chapters in California, New York, Illinois and Philadelphia have led successful campaigns to engage lower income parents and community members in education reform efforts to increase resources for schools, improve teacher recruitment and retention, provide professional development for new teachers, and increase access to rigorous coursework for all students. Through the national office, ACORN has developed formal mechanisms for training affiliate chapters and engaging them in addressing educational inequities in their communities. Hazen’s grant of $40,000 will enable ACORN to utilize the skills and knowledge dispersed throughout the network to increase the capacity to undertake successful education campaigns in other cities, including Miami/Dade County, FL; St. Louis, MO; Hartford, CT; and Houston, TX.
