The mission of the Carnegie Foundation is to catalyze transformational change in education so that every student has the opportunity to live a healthy, dignified, and fulfilling life.

The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching was chartered by an act of Congress in 1906. Since then, it has pioneered a broad range of transformative advancements in K–12 and higher education, including the creation of the Carnegie Unit; TIAA; standards for schools of law, medicine, education, and engineering; Educational Testing Service; the GRE; Pell Grants; the Carnegie Classifications; and the use of improvement science to build the field’s capacity to improve.

Today, the Carnegie Foundation is dedicated to advancing educational and economic opportunity for those furthest from opportunity.

To accomplish these aims, the Foundation pursues two strategic aims:

• High School Transformation: We mobilize and propel engaging and rigorous learning experiences that prepare all students to thrive now and in the future.

• Postsecondary Innovation: We transform the postsecondary sector to advance the social and economic mobility of underrepresented students.

Carnegie does not do this work alone. Partnerships are key to execution and having impact at scale. Our institutional commitment to catalyzing transformational change in education compels us to collaborate in new ways with new partners using new mechanisms to invite new stakeholders to engage, solve problems, build knowledge, and have impact.
