Our vision: a society where every person has the opportunity to reach their full potential. Systemic poverty and exclusion have created deep achievement gaps in Roma communities. We are taking a targeted, but not explicit, approach to helping these communities succeed.
We are a grant-making, nongovernmental organization dedicated to overcoming poverty and achieving greater equity. Toward this end, we support activities in four program areas:
Early Childhood Development - with two programs First Foundations and Early Learning and Care;
Educational Achievement;
Family Economic Success - with two programs Housing and Zoning and Employment and Entrepreneurship
Capacity Building;
As a pioneer and an incubator for new approaches and ideas, TSA tests how best to tackle deeply rooted achievement gaps. Achieving scale and sustainability will take time and cooperation. This is why TSA values partnership and the creation of networks and coalitions of like-minded allies.
