World-class education for every child
Empowering students, educators, and communities in Indianapolis and beyond
The Mind Trust invests in public education to transform lives in Indianapolis, across Indiana, and beyond. We work toward a day when income and background are no longer predictors of life outcomes.
Our non-partisan goal is clear:
Ensuring children in Indianapolis and in communities across the country have access to an excellent education, in pursuit of a day when income and background are no longer predictors of life outcomes.
We believe
- Our education system has never effectively served Black, Latino, or low-income students.
- All children can excel with great teachers and school leaders who are empowered with the autonomy to innovate and make decisions at the school and classroom levels.
- Neighborhoods and communities most impacted by educational disparities must be the ones to drive systemic changes in our educational system.
