The Joyce Foundation supports the development of policies that both improve the quality of life for people in the Great Lakes region and serve as models for the rest of the country. We invest in and focus on today’s most pressing problems while also informing the public policy decisions critical to creating opportunity and achieving long-term solutions. The work is based on sound research and is focused on where we can add the most value. We partner with others and encourage innovative and collaborative approaches with a regional focus and the potential for a national reach.
Education:

Students in the Great Lakes region and throughout the country need to enter kindergarten ready to succeed, and must graduate high school prepared for their futures. But more than half either fail to graduate on time or graduate unprepared for college-level work. Many also lack the skills necessary to be successful in the workforce. Through innovative policies and programs, the Joyce Foundation aims to turn this trend around.
