The Whitman-Harsh Family Foundation, which invests in programs and organizations that expand opportunity in education, is giving a total of $10 million to the American non-profit organization Teach For America. Half of the investment will be used to support the firm’s work in high-need communities in California.
The remaining 50 percent will support Teach For America’s national effort to double the number of its teachers and promote its network of alumni leaders. The foundation was established by Hewlett-Packard Development Co. CEO Meg Whitman and her husband Griffith Harsh.
