Case Studies
Corporate Investments in College Readiness and Access
With support from USA Funds and in collaboration with the Institute for Higher Education Policy, BHEF developed Corporate Investments in College Readiness and Access, which examines the extent of corporate support for college readiness and access and the most effective practices major corporations use to support college readiness and access initiatives.
Two case studies showcasing best practices for investments in college readiness and success emerged:
BHEF's On-the-Ground Work
BHEF has developed overviews of the education improvement efforts of other communities, including Boston and Long Beach, to inform our on-the-ground efforts in Louisville, KY and Philadelphia, PA.
Institute for Strategic Investment in Education (ISIE): Maximizing the Impact of Corporate Philanthropy
BHEF and the Harvard Graduate School of Education, with support from the Goldman Sachs Foundation, hosted the inaugural ISIE at Harvard University in April 2008. The event convened over 45 corporate and private philanthropic leaders and education leaders for two and a half days to explore how best to leverage corporate philanthropic monies to maximize the impact on education. Key lessons and strategies emerged from the event, and are shared in BHEF's Lessons in Education Philanthropy: Proceedings from BHEF's Inaugural Institute for Strategic Investment in Education.
