What we care about.
Social good.

Education is a right.

Transformative Education Collective doesn’t exist within a vacuum. The work we do is made possible through the tireless efforts of our partners and collaborators, as well as generous grant givers like the Michelson 20MM Foundation who are leading the way in creating more accessible and equitable classrooms.
These are a few of the grants and awards we’ve received over the last few years.
