Equity of Opportunity

All children are born with equal desire and potential to learn and all children deserve the chance to succeed at the highest levels.

Education is the Silver Bullet

Education is the best investment we can make today to ensure a better tomorrow. And we think the measure of an effective education goes beyond degree attainment – it should ignite passion and foster responsibility and awareness of the world beyond one’s own.

A Pathway to Potential

Along the birth-to-12th grade curriculum, we know that children need an enriched set of experiences that will enable them to put their education to use. From the earliest years, we look to build cognitive and socio-emotional capacities, which lay the foundation for positive character development and ultimately leadership and self-direction.

Relationships Matter

From parents and caregivers, who are the first and most important teachers, to educators and mentors, to strong peer networks, we support high quality relationships along the age continuum. Children’s success is deeply influenced by relationships with caring adults, inspired role models and positive peer interactions.

What We Do

The David J. Park Foundation for Innovation & Technology supports rigorous, inspired learning environments for young people, from birth through university, to put their education into action. Through supporting such programs, the foundation works to elevate the field of education in STEM and improve life outcomes for our future generations.

Our focus includes early learning, strengthening the K-12 STEM foundations, and supporting future young leaders. 

Fostering Leadership

Leadership is essential to solving our world’s most pressing problems. We believe that breakthrough solutions require original thinking, relentless commitment, creativity and a deep desire to solve big problems. Great leaders will be able to navigate barriers more successfully if buoyed by support networks, while given the freedom to innovate.
