Voices of EdQuity Annual Breakfast

Boston’s students and educators can’t afford to wait.

With millions in federal funding at risk and change moving too slowly, EdQuity Boston is taking bold, immediate action to protect and uplift our public schools.

Join us for a transformative morning that’s more than just a conversation—it’s a collective call to action.

By fundraising for and investing directly in educators, mental health, culturally affirming programs, and flexible school funding, we are filling the gaps that traditional systems leave behind.

✔ Witness the urgency firsthand – Hear from educators, students, and community leaders about what’s at stake.

✔ Be part of the solution – Your support directly impacts Boston Public Schools, ensuring every student has the resources they need to thrive.

✔ See equity in action – Learn how EdQuity Boston moves beyond bureaucracy to put real dollars where they matter most—in the hands of students, educators, families, and communities.

✔ Celebrate Changemakers - Each year, the EdQuity Trailblazer Award honors a leader whose advocacy and commitment to equity drive lasting change in Boston.

We are proud to present the 2025 EdQuity Trailblazer Award to Natanja Craig-Oquendo – A fierce advocate for racial equity and community-led philanthropy and a visionary leader changing how Boston gives.

Past honorees include:

• Klare Shaw (2023) – Champion for philanthropy in education
• Turahn Dorsey (2024) – Policy visionary and equity strategist

✔ Fuel your soul
Enjoy a delicious Dominican breakfast provided by the beloved Las Palmas Restaurant—a true taste of community care.

✔ Create something meaningful
Take part in a collaborative art activation—a living, evolving piece created by everyone in the room. Your voice. Your hands. Your vision.

✔ Engage in community dialogue
Whether it’s a dynamic fireside chat, an interactive storytelling moment, or an unexpected spark, this space is designed for reflection, connection, and action.

We’re not a campaign—we’re a movement.
EdQuity Boston is flipping philanthropy on its head by putting students, educators, and families at the center of school funding decisions.

Raise $10 million by 2030 to directly fund what Boston’s communities say they need—not just what traditional systems are willing to support.

• Empower community-driven decision-making
• Disrupt inequitable funding structures
• Invest in student success through trust, flexibility, and equity
• Create a more just and reflective education system

Education reform is overdue. We’re done waiting. Join us and turn collective commitment into radical, tangible change for Boston’s young people.
