Raise DC is a collective impact initiative that supports success from birth through college and into career throughout all eight wards of the District of Columbia. We align the data and actions of more than 250 organizational, agency, and business partners to measurably improve educational outcomes in five citywide goal areas.

Our collective work coordinates and unifies stakeholders to address persistent opportunity gaps with the ultimate aim of transforming systems so they operate how they should – equitably for every young person in our city, regardless of zip code, race, gender identity, or disability.
