“As a relatively modest, place-based funder, GTY has given us a tremendous opportunity to engage with and learn from funders carrying out similar work. It has also been an incredible forum for deepening our knowledge, hearing directly from experts in the field of social and emotional learning – practitioners, researchers, and academics – and strategizing potential collaborative efforts. TLA has been instrumental in facilitating these important conversations and keeping us all aligned and focused, while also providing thought leadership and authentic partnership along the way. They are all a pleasure to know and work with.”
