The Jacobs Foundation invests in the future of young people. Children and youth need equitable access to high quality education and developmental opportunities so that they become socially responsible and productive members of society. Whatever their background, wherever their home, all young people should have the chance to
reach their full potential.
STRATEGY
We aim to support learning systems to provide young people with knowledge, skills, attitudes, tools, and equitable opportunities to reach their learning potential and thrive together. We focus on understanding early transitions between learning environments and embracing variability in learning from ages 2 to 12.
CORE COMPETENCES
The starting point to our Theory of Change are our Core Competences – the domains of expertise that characterize our philanthropic approach and programmatic investments. We apply these Competences to maximize the Foundation’s strategic value-add in all areas of our work and amplify the impact of our philanthropic giving.
THEORY OF CHANGE
What are the pillars of our engagement to achieve a global impact? We aim to support learning systems to provide young people with knowledge, skills, attitudes, tools, and equitable opportunities to reach their learning potential and thrive together.
We work with a network of partners to seek innovative ways to promote children’s learning and development, and to facilitate social change and lasting impact.
PARTNERS
Every child has an enormous capacity to learn and must be given an equal opportunity to thrive. This philosophy and ambition form the bedrock of the Jacobs Foundation’s work. Watch why our work will continue to be necessary until all children enjoy the same opportunities to learn.
