Abstract/Contents

Abstract: This ethnographic exploration of Intrepid Philanthropy Foundation shows the impact of Intrepid’s personal investment in the lives of teachers, and how this has affirmed and empowered these grantees to be leaders in the education field, continuing to impact dozens of children in K-12 schools every day. Intrepid’s personal approach is refreshing, differing from many other foundations which invest heavily in charter schools, national advocacy groups and teacher training. This essay suggests that fostering a personal connection with grantees and building a community of like-minded individuals, would allow other small family foundations to also transform education in their own special way.
