What Campaign for School Equity does
Mission
The organization's mission is to ensure that all children, especially those of color, and families in tennessee have access to high quality education choices by uniting communities of clergy, parents, and students to raise their voices to create effective change.
As stated on its FY2017 Form 990.
Program
Cse published a book called an education dream. This publication, a new anthology by the Campaign for School Equity, with support from the national civil rights museum, tells the story of that unrealized dream - the story of education in memphis in the 50 years since dr. King departed this earth and left us to make his education dream a reality. This is a story of intense struggle, but also one of hope and faith, as we profile efforts to take that dream to the promise land for black children, for all chidren, in memphis and beyond.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990, which lists programs largest first by expense.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund CAMPAIGN FOR SCHOOL EQUITY.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2019 98% — broadly stable.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
