Details:
The Turrell Fund actively considers programs of exceptional merit serving the youngest children with emphasis on birth to five. Note, however, that favored programs, in the birth to five range, are those operating in parts of their served area where the number and quality of educational and developmental alternatives are limited, and the relative concentration of at-risk children is high. Successful applicants requesting a grant to service this age category must have demonstrated results, supported by rigorous measurement and analysis.
Turrell Fund also places a priority on organizations which create system changes through policy and advocacy initiatives.
