The Janus Henderson Foundation, the charitable giving arm of
Janus Henderson Investors, recently finalized a grant of more than
$182,000 to long-term partner Innovations for Learning so it could
expand its flagship TutorMate program in the United States and the
United Kingdom, to combat learning loss caused by the global
pandemic.
Educational philanthropy has been core to the Janus Henderson
Foundation’s mission since its inception in 1994. Trusted partners
like Innovations for Learning enable the foundation to channel its
resources into proven, scalable education solutions that can
positively impact student outcomes around the globe. With new
educational challenges arising from the pandemic, the partnership
is more important than ever.
Tiphani Krueger, President of the Janus Henderson Foundation,
said, “Global organisations are uniquely situated to support global
crisis responses. Our focus at the Janus Henderson Foundation has
always been on improving education. The challenge of today is
addressing learning loss from the pandemic and we’re confident that
our continued support of the great work at Innovations for Learning
will help students in the U.S. and UK find success in their studies
and, in turn, futures.”
After seeing the success of the TutorMate program in the U.S.,
the Janus Henderson Foundation helped Innovations for Learning
expand its operations to the UK in 2018, and it’s now serving
nearly 1,000 students in London, Leeds, Doncaster and Bradford. The
latest grant will help Innovations for Learning provide more hours
of focused tutoring to Denver area students through High Dosage
tutoring with paid paraprofessionals, specialized education
professionals who assist in classrooms to enhance learning for
students. It will also help create easier access to tutoring for
students in the UK through TutorMate at Home, a virtual version of
the tutoring program.
Seth Weinberger, Executive Director of Innovations for Learning,
said, “Innovations for Learning is thrilled that Janus Henderson
Investors is expanding our partnership by supporting intensive
early literacy instruction and parental engagement. As we continue
our mission to increase beginning reading abilities in the students
we serve globally, corporate investment is vital in making this a
reality. Thanks to Janus Henderson for their commitment to
improving communities and children’s literacy.”
Since 2005, approximately 50,000 volunteers have participated in
the TutorMate program and served 50,000 children. More than 80% of
students in the program are from low-income households, and nearly
all U.S. students attend Title 1 schools, where more than 75% of
students receive free or reduced lunches.
The new funding will provide Early Literacy Interventionists in
10 Denver Public Schools, ensure an additional 300 UK students
receive in-home tutoring and help Innovations for Learning measure
the effectiveness of both to further improve the programs.
