What we do
The Road Map Project Aligned Funders group is open to all public and private funders of education efforts in the Road Map Project region. We meet every other month to discuss work happening to advance educational outcomes in South King County and South Seattle.
A majority of the participants fund projects in the region and many have strategically aligned their educational grant-making efforts to Road Map Project goals. For instance, many of the funders contribute to the Rapid Resource Fund, which supports projects that strengthen the System-Wide Racial Equity Essentials.
