Mission
Branched strengthens, grows, and amplifies the impact of educator preparation programs by improving programming, deepening partnerships and coalitions, and driving innovation to maximize the effectiveness of educators and the achievement of the learners they serve.

Program
Branched provides practical technical assistance to advance institutional outcomes, foster strategic alliances to spur collaboration and innovation, and amplify the unique contributions of minority serving institutions in preparing teachers who will educate america's citizens. We identify and support what is working well and strengthen program weaknesses to drive continuous quality improvement and ensure program sustainability. We facilitate in-person and virtual opportunities to ensure that msi educator preparation programs meaningfully engage with and learn from both each other and from key partners, such as k-12 institutions and community organizations. We build awareness about the critical role msis play in preparing highly effective diverse teachers, and we seek to amplify the collective expertise of msis as a means for advancing the field of educator preparation.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $7.9M to $22M (+184%).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
37% 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 MEB ALLIANCE FOR EDUCATOR DIVERSITY INC.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $17M arriving through sponsors registered in 4 states 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.
