The SchermCo Foundation was launched in 2020 to invest and support equity in education. Through the Foundation, our team leads our family empowerment initiative, where we partner with schools and non-profits to leverage data and insights from families to drive programming and support for families at each school/partner site.

We are proud to share the following results from the 2023/2024  program year:

  • Served 20 schools/non-profit partners & approximately 18,000 families
  • 16/20 partners either Met or Exceeded growth
  • Collected 4,990 surveys and insights from families
  • 250 adults took advantage of financial education opportunities through our programming
  • 176 adults took advantage of workforce development opportunities through our programming

To learn more about our model, please visit our family empowerment page. To see the model in action, check out this video.

If you have any questions or would like to partner, please contact Jia, our Director of Family Empowerment: jia@schermcofoundation.org.

Any donations made to the Foundation will support our ability to serve more schools & families and ensure that our partners have the data, insight, and capacity to provide comprehensive family empowerment. Thanks for your support!
