About Overdeck Family Foundation
Founded in 2011, Overdeck Family Foundation aims to provide all children the opportunity to unlock their potential. We partner with education organizations dedicated to helping more children enter school ready to thrive, succeed in literacy and math, and develop the skills and agency to shape their futures. Our funding incorporates both direct impact and ecosystem investments, with the goal of identifying and fueling the scale of cost-effective programs and solutions that accelerate children’s school readiness, school success, or future readiness outcomes. With an emphasis on unlocking innovation, evidence, and growth, our grantmaking and aligned capacity building support both bold new ideas and proven approaches, ensuring grantees receive the support they need to positively impact student outcomes.
