KIPP Foundation
In 2000, Doris and Donald Fisher, co-founders of Gap, Inc., formed a unique partnership with Feinberg and Levin to replicate the success of the two original KIPP Academies across the country through the non-profit KIPP Foundation. The KIPP Foundation focuses its efforts on recruiting, training, and supporting outstanding teachers to open new, locally-run KIPP schools in high-need communities.

The KIPP Foundation trains prospective school leaders through the yearlong KIPP School Leadership Program, which includes an intensive program of coursework at Stanford University run in partnership with the Stanford Educational Leadership Institute (SELI), residencies at other KIPP schools, and support from experienced KIPP staff.
