Rogers Family Foundation

About Us Founded in 2003, the Rogers Family Foundation is a private family foundation established by T. Gary and Kathleen Rogers. The Foundation primarily focuses on Oakland’s public schools where it seeks to positively transform the educational experience of students furthest from the opportunity. We envision a future in which all Oakland students have the opportunity to attend a high-quality school where inspired and effective teachers personalize learning for every student and community-based supports meet the needs of students and families. While much of our energy centers on our Oakland Education Strategy, the Foundation also selectively supports a limited number of local capital projects as well as a variety of other interests, most notably those associated with University of California – Berkeley, the University of California – San Francisco, and a limited number of Oakland community institutions.
