"We
believe that when independent schools opened their doors to more diverse
student populations in the 60s and 70s, they saved their souls and saved their
markets; we are now at a similar moment of 'monumental opportunity.'"

Wingspan Partnerships narrows the education gap by developing and supporting partnerships between public and private schools.
We provide guidance to schools on several levels:
Making the case
We assist in developing a strong case for partnerships through presentations to board, parents, faculty, alumni, and community.
Creating a Plan
We evaluate your school’s community relationships and current programs, and assess your neighborhood needs and opportunities for engaging in effective public-private school partnerships.
Making it happen
We help you shape, design, and implement strategic partnership initiatives that align with your mission, culture, and strategic plan.
Wingspan Partnerships is a non-profit organization. Our income comes from grants from committed donors and fees for service. While each partnership assumes responsibility for principal funding, we consult on fundraising strategies.
