Your donations go directly to New Leaders’ education and training programs.
- How does the Giving Tuesday campaign work?
- We are kicking off a month-long staff fundraising campaign on Giving Tuesday and empowering New Leaders staff to share their powerful stories of why they are committed to developing transformational school leaders.
- Where does my money go?
- New Leaders is a national non-profit that develops outstanding educators into transformational principals, turning around schools in our neediest communities. Your gift will enable us to recruit, train and support more of these school leaders.
- Why participate?
- This is an opportunity to be part of something bigger than New Leaders and send a strong message about the importance of giving back.
- How do I know my donation will make a difference?
- Principals have a multiplier effect: every great principal can support 20 teachers and change the lives of 500 students. Leadership is the highest leverage investment you can make in education.

New Leaders: Giving Tuesday
This holiday season, we are asking you to celebrate the exception work being done by Memphis New Leaders by participating in Giving Tuesday, a national movement to encourage people to give back during the holidays. It’s a collective effort to foster the great American spirit of contribution and use our creativity and energy to work together for good.
I hope you will join me by supporting Memphis New Leaders. Part of a national non-profit, your Memphis New Leaders team recruits outstanding educators from across the country and develops them into transformational leaders for our community’s schools and students who need them most.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO DONATE NOW!
This year, New Leaders has been named a finalist for support from the federal Investing in Education (i3) fund. The i3 contest is part of U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan’s reform agenda designed to identify and fund innovative ideas that have gotten results. As a finalist, we’ll receive a 10-to-1 match for all online contributions received by November 30th. A gift of $100 will be matched with a $1,000 investment from the U.S. government. The 10:1 match dollars will support our national New Leaders work while your actual donation will directly support Memphis New Leaders. (The reason Memphis will not receive additional match dollars is that we already receive federal support for our leadership work.)
New Leaders provides talented teachers and administrators with leadership skills, helping grow their abilities and set them on a path to the principalship. During a one-year Residency program, we train Aspiring Principals on the actions leaders need to take to create academic excellence across a school. We then partner with school districts and charters to place New Leaders in underperforming schools, and we support them throughout that critical first year as they transform their schools.
Our New Leader Principals are closing the achievement gap and preparing more students for success in college, career and citizenship. In Memphis, New Leaders directly impact the lives of over 36,000 students daily. Nationally, New Leaders already serve 250,000 children across the country, and we’re growing to serve 500,000 children over the next three years.
We deeply appreciate your support of Memphis New Leaders as you help change the lives of the kids in our community.
THANK YOU!
The Memphis New Leaders City Team
About New Leaders
New Leaders seeks to transform our country’s highest-need schools and provide all children with an excellent education through outstanding leadership. Why leadership? Principals are the driving force behind school improvement. One outstanding teacher isn’t enough; students require multiple years of effective teachers to reach academic excellence, especially if they have fallen behind.
New Leaders’ leadership training begins with our Emerging Leaders Program, which builds a pipeline of promising future school leaders by growing the abilities of talented teachers and administrators over the course of a year to lead other adults in raising student achievement.
Many Emerging Leaders go on to join our signature Aspiring Principals Program, a rigorous, one-year Residency through which we train highly motivated, results-oriented individuals to turn around the nation’s underperforming schools. To ensure that we get the best leaders into schools regardless of whether they currently work in education, we also identify promising talent through a national admissions process.
After the Aspiring Principals Residency, we support our leaders on the job through the Principal Institute, which employs professional learning communities and strategic one-on-one coaching for one to two years to ensure our new principals are set up for success from day one.
