KRLD speaks with Noggin Educational Foundation and Communities Foundation of Texas about closing the achievement gap for local students and how North Texas Giving Day helps nonprofits expand their impact.
The Mission: Noggin Educational Foundation is a comprehensive academic support system helping close the achievement gap for economically disadvantaged children in the Southwestern Dallas area. At the heart of our work is free, high-impact private tutoring provided by certified teachers, giving students the individualized support they need to strengthen academic skills and build confidence. Through our Bright Futures Model, tutoring is reinforced by student development programs that build important skills and expose students to new possibilities, along with family support, including Special Education Support & Advocacy. At Noggin, we believe every child deserves a shot at a bright future, regardless of their income or ZIP code.
