The Coalition on Adult Basic Education (COABE), the leading and largest adult education association globally, recognizes that adult learners and their families often face barriers in life, education, and employment. The local programs that serve the learners often deal with funding issues, and as the frontline support for learners, are integral to their education. The Educate & Elevate Foundation was created to address these needs in adult education.
Through the generous work of the Educate and Elevate Foundation which was established, in part by seed funding provided by Essential Education, we hope to help offset challenges to sustained learning by providing just-in-time supplemental grants and scholarships to adult learners, their families, and their local programs.
