In 2000, Doris and Don Fisher, co-founders of Gap Inc., formed a unique partnership with KIPP co-founders Mike Feinberg and Dave Levin to replicate the success of the two original KIPP Academies through the non-profit KIPP Foundation. The KIPP Foundation recruits, trains and supports outstanding leaders to open and sustain locally-run KIPP schools in high-need communities. The KIPP Foundation does not manage KIPP schools, but is responsible for supporting excellence and sustainability across the network, and coordinating national innovation efforts. Each KIPP school is run by a KIPP-trained school leader and governed by a local board of directors.

Learn more about the roles and responsibilities of the KIPP Foundation, and get to know our leadership team and our board of directors.
