EdTrust-Midwest is a nonprofit organization focused on expanding educational opportunity from preschool through college. Working with communities, it provides rigorous analyses, research grounded in evidence, policy recommendations, and expert guidance to shape the policies and practices that determine access and success for students. As the Midwest regional office of The Education Trust, a national education-policy organization based in Washington, D.C., EdTrust-Midwest is part of a broader effort to advance equity in education. Based in Saginaw, Michigan, the office began operations in 2010 as The Education Trust's second state office, following Ed Trust-West in California. The organization collaborates with local stakeholders to address challenges across the education pipeline and to foster conditions in which students from diverse backgrounds can thrive. As a small nonprofit, it emphasizes translating research into practical policy and practice guidance for state and local education systems.
