Our Supporters

Many thanks to our supporters, who make Magnolia Project programs possible! If you believe that education can be more than a classroom experience, and that life lessons are among the most important, we invite you to join the effort.

“NewSchools believes that students need increased navigation support to identify their passions and interests, gain exposure to a range of career opportunities, determine the options they’d like to pursue, and have multiple, permeable pathways to get there. The Magnolia Project delivers on that need for a population that is often overlooked: low-income, rural, public middle and high schools.Its program design in pairing both curriculum and experiential learning has the potential to transform students’ college and career pathways.”

Nour Abdelmenon, NewSchools Venture Fund Chief of Staff

“We’ve chosen to fund the Magnolia Project’s programs in Geyserville because of the innovative design, commitment to equitable career technical education (CTE) courses for all students, especially low-income students, and their documented track record of success. The Magnolia Project team is deeply knowledgeable, competent, organized, and most importantly, passionate about what they do.”

Kenneth Blum, Executive Director, The Miranda Lux Foundation

Can You Water Some Magnolias?

We’re named after the magnolia flower, one of the only flowers that blooms consistently across varied climates and soil conditions. We believe that when students are supported and comprehensively prepared to pursue their meaningful next phase in life, they will bloom wherever it takes them – and that they and their families, communities, and local economies will flourish around them.
