In March 2025, CSF Baltimore Executive Director, Erica Jensen, attended the Children’s Scholarship Fund Partner Summit in New York City where she joined other CSF organizations and their supporters in an effort to learn more about how to best serve our scholars and their families in their pursuit for a great education!
The summit gathers individuals and organizations supporting school choice while offering fundraising forums, sharing best practices, providing guidance for establishing Scholarship Granting Organizations (SGOs), and facilitating discussions on the future of school choice across the nation.
“Attending the Children’s Scholarship Fund New York Partner Summit was truly inspiring. Collaborating with dedicated professionals from across the country, all united in the mission to expand educational opportunities for children in need, reinforced the profound impact we can achieve together. The summit highlighted the power of partnerships in transforming lives through education.”
