The Coleman Foundation has focused on three program areas for over
twenty years – Cancer, Developmental Disabilities and Entrepreneurship
Education.
Over the past several months, program staff has employed
the "Getting to Impact” framework developed by the Association for
Small Foundations as part of a strategic planning process to more
clearly make the connection between grant strategies and intended
outcomes in these three major areas.
On March 1, 2012, the Board of
Directors approved these Impact Plans to provide a basic outline of the
goals for the Foundation’s grantmaking in 2012.
The Entrepreneurship Education Impact Plan has curricular and
co-curricular elements. Within the curriculum, strategies aim to foster
development of core skills (defined in footnotes to the Plan) and the
promotion of entrepreneurship as interdisciplinary learning. The Plan
also seeks to improve the quality and quantity of experiential
activities across disciplines to develop applied knowledge and
experiences in self-employment. Read more about this plan
