The organization identifies itself as representing the interests of children in chronically under-funded districts and emphasizes increasing access to financial resources for member districts as a primary objective. Operating within the education administration field, Equity Center positions itself as a nationally notable research and advocacy body centered on school finance equity. Its work targets school districts that experience persistent funding gaps, offering policy analysis and advocacy to influence resource distribution.
