The people behind every grant.
Independent by design.
The board is the Foundation's operating body. It approves every grant, sets policy, and holds the boundary between the consultancy that set the Foundation up and the districts it funds. The founding board is now seated. Inquiries stay open — for advisory roles, fundraising leads, and future seats when the board expands.
Four rules that don't change.
Loop + Ledger's founders don't sit on the Foundation's board.
No client, vendor or partner of the consultancy is eligible to serve.
Board service creates no path to business with the Foundation or the firms it funds.
Conflicts are disclosed and the member recuses. Every time, on the record.
Education experience is helpful. Range is the goal.
Fundraising is the role we need most right now. After that, range: a board made only of educators sees only what educators see, and this work touches procurement, law, insurance and IT.
Education experience
Real time in a school, a district, a board, or state ed policy. Recency and level are flexible; genuineness is not.
Fundraising experience
Someone who has actually raised money for a mission-driven organization, at any scale, and knows how to run a spend-down conversation.
Range beyond education
Procurement, law, insurance, IT, cybersecurity, nonprofit governance. The audit work touches all of these; the board should too.
Location we don't have
We want the board to reflect the range of districts we serve. If we don't yet have a member from your region, please consider applying.
The commitment, spelled out.
Quarterly, plus grant approvals as they come. Recorded, with the recording and transcript kept in a library every board member can reach.
Everything the board will see goes out several days ahead. No first looks in the room. No surprises.
Submit your vote by email. It stays sealed until the meeting opens. Your voice is present even when you can't be.
Designed so that serving doesn't mean rearranging your life around a calendar invite. Two to four hours per meeting, plus grant reads between meetings.
Two years, renewable once. Staggered so the board keeps continuity when members rotate off.
