ECMC Foundation is a national philanthropic organization based in Los Angeles, California, with the aim of closing gaps in postsecondary completion by 2040. It employs a mix of funding approaches, including strategic grants and program-related investments channeled through Education Innovation Ventures, supporting both nonprofit and for-profit ventures. The foundation targets system-level change by focusing on removing barriers to completion, strengthening the capacity of organizations and systems, and reshaping the postsecondary ecosystem. The organization operates with a relatively small staff. In 2025, ECMC Foundation pursued partnerships with state-focused organizations such as SHEEO, Complete College America, NCHEMS, and NCSL to promote approaches for measuring credential value and highlighting programs that lead to strong post-credential outcomes. It also participated in the 2025 SHEEO Policy Conference to engage policy leaders and better understand their needs.
