A middle school and high school math teacher at New York’s Washington Heights Expeditionary Learning School, Nina Gribetz leverages more than 10 years of math experience to create and execute standards-based math curriculum. Dedicated to giving back to her community, Nina Gribetz spent three years serving as a math teacher for Teach for America (TFA).
At the beginning of 2018, TFA, an organization dedicated to developing and supporting a network of classroom leaders in an effort to end educational inequality, announced that it had been given a $10 million grant from the Ballmer Group. This philanthropic organization established by Steve and Connie Ballmer will distribute its grant to TFA over the course of five years. TFA plans to use this money for training, recruiting, and further developing teachers who are committed to ridding every country of educational injustice.
In addition to this large grant from the Ballmer Group, two additional gifts will be made to TFA to support a growing corps member and alumni base in specific regions. TFA’s operations in Washington will receive a $1.5 million grant through 2020 to supports its growth. A matching grant in the amount of $2.25 million was also given to TFA - Los Angeles.
