The Cities for Education Entrepreneurship Trust (CEE-Trust) - an initiative of The Mind Trust - is a growing network of 18 city-based non-profits, foundations, and mayors’ offices that support education innovation and reform. CEE-Trust’s goal is to accelerate the growth of high-impact entrepreneurial education solutions in member cities. CEE-Trust achieves this goal by designing collaborations between cities, identifying and documenting best practices, hosting events, and producing analysis of cutting edge issues.
Launched in June 2010, CEE-Trust was founded on The Mind Trust’s belief that city-based organizations—non-profits, foundations, mayors’ offices, and other reform-oriented initiatives—have tremendous potential to create a fertile climate for education innovation and are an under-tapped resource in the education reform space. They often share more than the desire to improve education in their cities: they also share a deep understanding of their local civic, political, business, and philanthropic sectors. By leveraging these connections with key stakeholders, city-based organizations can be powerful advocates for education entrepreneurs looking for opportunities to expand.
