Mission
Our mission is to support excellence in education by advancing educational justice and racial equity for students in Seattle Public Schools.

- Educational Investments: The Alliance brings together the philanthropic community and Seattle Public School (SPS) leadership to define and support strategic investments in SPS with a focus on increasing equity. Our strategic work includes: The Seattle Teacher Residency, the Right Now Needs Fund and Other Investments advancing racial equity and educational excellence in Seattle Public Schools.Continued on Schedule O.The Seattle Teacher Residency (STR): STR accelerates student achievement through the preparation, support, and retention of exceptional teachers who reflect the rich diversity in Seattle Public Schools. We recruit, prepare, and support a diverse pipeline of high-quality teachers trained specifically to teach in Seattle's highest need schools, particularly Title I schools. Some highlights of our successes in 2024 include:- Teachers Trained: As of September 2024 (the beginning of the 2024-25 school year) there were 191 STR-trained teachers in more than 50 public schools in Seattle. An additional 23 residents were recruited for Cohort 12 and started the program in 2024. These residents will be eligible for service in Seattle Public Schools in spring 2025.- Students Served: More than 3,000 students in over 30 Title I schools benefitted from teachers trained with critical content, social-emotional, and cultural competencies through the STR program during the 2024-25 school year.- Diversity: 54% of current STR residents are teachers of color or biracial and multiracial educators compared to 19.5% of other Seattle Public School teachers in a district where 55.5% of students are students of color.The Right Now Needs Fund: The Right Now Needs Fund is a vital program designed to directly support Seattle Public School students by addressing their most basic and immediate needs. To ensure that students can focus on learning, the Alliance disburses funds to all 104 Seattle Public Schools, tailored to the percentage of students receiving free and reduced lunch at each school. In addition, the Alliance disburses funds to McKinney Vento and Special Education students, as well as students enrolled in both Summer School and the Office of African American Male Achievement programs. These funds are available to students and families and are approved by the school principal, allowing them to be used for essentials like warm clothing, food, shelter, and school supplies. Since its inception, the Right Now Needs Fund has allocated $6 million towards supporting students. In 2024 alone, over $1,151,000 was disbursed to meet the urgent needs of students and families, emphasizing the impactful and ongoing nature of this program. Other Investments: The Alliance raises dollars to support initiatives that advance racial equity and educational excellence in Seattle Public Schools.
