We are thrilled to share that Citi has continued its longstanding commitment to Uncommon Schools by selecting us to be part of its 2023 e for education campaign.

We are honored to be a long-standing partner in their global education initiative, which has raised a tremendous $66 million to enhance the lives of more than one million children. The campaign has generously provided Uncommon with a total of $8.1 million since 2013, helping us more than double the number of students we serve from traditionally-marginalized communities across our five Northeast cities. With over a decade of Citi’s support, Uncommon has successfully launched 21 new schools, including the inauguration of our very first Pre-K class in 2023. Our commitment to providing quality education to all students remains unwavering, and with Citi’s foundational support, we continue to design innovative programs that ensure our students flourish academically, socially, and emotionally.

Citi extends its commitment to Uncommon students and alumni through a range of valuable initiatives, including career development programs and employee volunteer efforts, which offer unparalleled opportunities to explore the world of financial services and careers at Citi. These programs empower our students to build not only their knowledge and skills, but also essential networks that will shape their future. At Uncommon, we recognize the immense value of these opportunities in nurturing the next generation of leaders and professionals, and we are deeply grateful for Citi’s dedication to our students’ growth and development.

This year, the e for education campaign runs from September 5th to October 31st. Learn more about the campaign.
