Philosophy/Approach: “I started FundED Strategies to help schools focus on what really matters: providing a high-quality learning environment for all learners. After several years of working in the charter sector, I witnessed first-hand the disparities in funding. Today, supporting learners, the learning environment, and helping schools and education nonprofits deliver on their missions is what drives me and FundED Strategies.” - John Campbell, Founder & CEO
