Our team enjoyed volunteering this month as “Harambee!” guest readers at Freedom School Partners summer literacy program sites! Did you know? Students who don’t keep reading over the summer can fall one or more months behind, while their classmates who continue reading move further ahead.
About us
The Belk Foundation invests deeply in public education—specifically K-3 achievement and excellent teachers and leaders, both critical building blocks for successful education. As a private, family foundation, we actively seek like-minded partners throughout North Carolina who share our vision. But we don’t just invest with money. We invest with time, with advocacy, with action. We pursue our mission with a hands-on approach, working “on the ground” and learning by asking thoughtful questions of smart people who have experienced success in education first-hand: effective teachers, administrators of schools that have defied the odds, leaders of like-minded organizations who are exceeding their goals. We build relationships with high-achieving organizations and results-oriented school systems in the hopes that, together, we will be catalysts for lasting change. The Belk Foundation invests over $2 million annually to strengthen public education.
