Audacious Foundation funds active, experiential, non-academic programs in low-income schools. Our three focus areas for these programs are Nature-based Learning, Healthy Habits, and Essential Life Skills.
A child's growing brain requires a balance of academic education and experiential learning to reach its peak potential. Whole Child Learning Environments provide a complete learning experience inclusive of mind, body, and spirit.

A Whole Child School Connects Physical, Social-Emotional, & Academic Learning
Academic achievement, social-emotional competence, and physical and mental health are fundamentally interelated.
Hands-On, Experiential Activities Welcome & Benefit All Learning Styles
Kinesthetic, verbal, aural, and visual learners all benefit from a greater variety of environments and activities.
Life Skills Programs Prepare Kids To Thrive In Adulthood
Essential life skills such as maintaining good oral hygiene and having financial literacy prepare students for non-standardized tests called "real life".
A Balanced Approach Improves Classroom Performance
Exercise, healthy food, and outdoor activity improve concentration, retention, behavior, and cognitive function.
School Gardens, Edible Forests, Camp Experiences, and nature connections take kids out of the classroom and into the world.
