Founded in 1995, the Trefler Foundation has focused its attention
for a decade on public high schools in Boston.
Between 1996 and 2004, the Foundation made nearly $9 million in grant commitments. During this period the Foundation's operating style can be characterized as:
...Action-oriented
...Willing to take risks
...Focused on results
...Seeking leverage
...Willing to take a public stand
...Operating outside of mainstream systems
Adopting a high engagement model, the Foundation staff became deeply involved in the work of public high schools and community organizations,
donating thousands of hours of time and significant experience to grantees.
