About Us

The Edward W. Hazen Foundation is a private foundation founded in 1925, committed to supporting organizing and leadership of young people and communities of color in dismantling structural inequity based on race and class. The Foundation’s current grantmaking targets grassroots and community-based organizations working on public education and youth development. In the area of public education, we support community organizing for educational justice. Similarly, in the area of youth development, we favor proposals that focus on engaging young people in community organizing on issues of social and racial equity. Today young people, particularly youth experiencing oppression based on race and class, continue to be the primary focus of the Foundation.

Since 1989, the Foundation’s funding has focused primarily on community organizing for school reform, and youth organizing. The Foundation has designed its current grantmaking strategy with the following goals in mind:

To foster effective schools for all students

Full partnership for parents and communities working to reform and restructure their school systems
