Innovating the Future of Education
At Three Rivers Education Foundation, we are dedicated to improving education in the Southwest United States through research, grants, community reading programs, and GED assistance for migrant workers.
A Foundation Committed to Transforming Lives
Dr. Linda Coy founded the Three Rivers Education Foundation in 2003 to address gaps in traditional teacher preparation, utilizing her experience as an educator and administrator. Named for the cultural confluence in the Southwest, the foundation bridges theoretical knowledge and practical application in teaching. It secured federal grants, achieving nonprofit status by 2008, and has profoundly impacted education across the Southwest.
The foundation focuses on the distinctive needs of rural, marginalized, and minority communities in New Mexico, southern Colorado, Arizona, and El Paso, Texas. By leveraging federal resources and forming strategic partnerships, it promotes teacher empowerment and community development. The Three Rivers Education Foundation continues to transform educational practices, ensuring a more inclusive and effective environment for all learners. Through each initiative and grant, it works towards a brighter future for education.
