| Program Description / Purpose: |
The Kauffman Foundation works in partnership with organizations that share thier vision and passion for education and entrepreneurship. They look for ways to advance promising national programs and to leverage additional funding and resources in these two areas of interest. They work with partners by providing funding, consultation and technical assistance. They invest in organizations and programs only in these two areas of interest. Occasionally they operate our own programs. We decline a large number of otherwise worthy proposals that do not meet these objectives.
