Change History with Uncommon

Support Our Students and Staff

Across our 52 schools, over 20,000 students are receiving an Uncommon education from devoted teachers, leaders, and staff who are determined to deliver our schools’ powerful mix of rigorous academics and joyful school culture.

Donate

Our founding mission in 1997 remains our driving purpose today: to start and operate outstanding urban public schools that close the college completion gap and prepare students from low-income communities to graduate from college.

Your donations will provide opportunities to foster intellectual curiosity, cultivate meaningful student-teacher relationships, and prioritize student wellness. From our newest kindergarten students to our seniors on the brink of college, each one of our students can feel your care and commitment. We are deeply thankful for your support.
