Programs

In addition to providing grants, FNF works with key partners to design and manage new programs. These programs not only employ the most promising practices like early intervention and teacher collaboration, but also allow for direct and immediate impact on Newark’s teachers and students. FNF programs often serve as pilots that have the potential to be scaled district-wide.
