NEW YORK, July 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Teach For
All and the Chubb Charitable Foundation announced
today an extension of their partnership through 2021. Chubb
committed an additional $1.5 million
grant over the next three years, bringing the Foundation's total
giving to Teach For All to $2.4
million. Driven by a shared mission to develop collective
leadership to ensure all children can fulfill their potential,
Teach For All is a global network of 50 independent, locally led
and governed organizations, and a global organization that works to
accelerate the impact of the network.
Each network partner recruits and develops promising young
graduates and professionals to teach for a minimum of two years in
their nations' under-resourced schools and communities, and invests
in their development as collaborative leaders who will continue to
pursue lasting change for children throughout their careers both
within and outside of the education sector, as teachers, school
leaders, policy makers or social entrepreneurs.
In 2018, Chubb completed a two-year, $940,000 grant to Teach For All. The Chubb
Charitable Foundation's grant provided support to network partners
in countries where Chubb has significant operations, including
Teach For America, Enseña por Colombia, Enseña por México and Teach For
Thailand. The grant provided
funding for teacher recruitment and training programs.
The renewed partnership will continue to support the same
network partners with funding for initiatives that will give more
children access to quality education and support, and develop the
leadership potential of their teachers.
"Chubb's partnership with Teach For All has supported
significant achievements in the education field in four countries
where Chubb employees live and work," said Lori Dunstan, Vice President, Global Corporate
Giving at Chubb. "We are proud to extend our relationship with
Teach For All and support the important work the organization is
doing to ensure that students from underserved communities have
access to quality education and can develop into future
leaders."
The Teach For All grant represents one of the Chubb Charitable
Foundation's multi-year partnerships with a core group of
non-profit organizations aligned with Chubb's philanthropic
mission. Education is one of the Foundation's three core
global philanthropic pillars, which also includes poverty and
health as well as the environment.
"We are deeply grateful to the Chubb Charitable Foundation for
its partnership and continued support of Teach For All and our
network partners," said Wendy Kopp,
CEO and Co-Founder of Teach For All. "With their support, we have
been able to strengthen the recruitment and development of our
network's teachers and leaders. Chubb's additional support will
help us invest in initiatives that will further strengthen our
impact on students and communities."
