Walton Family Foundation Awards $49.5 Million to Teach for America
The Walton Family Foundation has announced a three-year, $49.5 million grant to Teach for America to help double the size of its national teaching corps and provide professional development for first- and second-year educators in seven communities located in the foundation's priority investment regions.
The investment by the foundation makes it TFA's largest private donor and will support the organization's efforts to recruit up to 15,000 recent college graduates to teach for two years in urban and rural public schools by 2015.
