Where education nonprofits come to thrive
Get world-class advisors and tools to help your organization grow.
Who We Are
EdAccess Lab is a 501c3 tax-exempt organization that provides affordable advising services and tools to education nonprofits that are dedicated to creating pathways to postsecondary education for first-generation, low-income students.
Challenge
Since the COVID pandemic, more than 1.3 million students have dropped out of the college pipeline. Low-income and students of color have dropped out at higher rates, deepening existing inequities and limiting opportunities to break the cycle of poverty. While education nonprofits have had great success in placing a majority of their students in four-year colleges, there are far too few seats available to meet the demand from underserved students. EdAccess aims to address this gap by helping these education organizations grow. We partner with them to expand their reach so they can provide critical support to more students.
