In June 2019 the Foundation for Tacoma Students (FFTS) announced a one-time investment from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) to deepen the capacity and capability of the Graduate Tacoma community-wide movement. This investment presents an opportunity to elevate our collective action through sub-grant funding in three investment areas and, most importantly, strengthen our ability to improve outcomes for all students. Honoring our shared learning agenda, we are calling this initiative the Graduate Tacoma Community Learning Fund.
