The Milken Family Foundation is a private foundation established by Lowell Milken and Michael Milken in 1982. Lowell Milken serves as chairman and co-founder of the foundation.
Goals
The foundation is focused primarily on supporting education and medical research.
Among the foundation's initiatives are:
- The Milken Educator Awards, a teacher recognition program awarding $25,000 to individual educators for teaching excellence;
- TAP: The System for Teacher and Student Advancement, a comprehensive school reform incorporating career advancement, collaborative professional development, teacher accountability and performance-based compensation. T The Center for American Progress released "Aligned by Design," a report by education researcher Craig Jerald that elaborated on this concept to specifically show how TAP's elements work together.[1] South Carolina TAP was featured in TIME Magazine's February 2008 cover story.[2] In 2006, BusinessWeek ranked TAP on its Top 10 List of Best Practices.[3] The system was profiled in Education Week.[4]
- Milken Archive of Jewish Music, a cultural and historic project dedicated to preserving the sacred and secular music inspired by 350 years of Jewish life in America;
- The Lowell Milken Center, an institution dedicated to the development of educational projects that feature unsung heroes as role models to 'repair the world.' Howard Cohen, Chancellor of Purdue University/Calumet, said about the LM Center: "History is not history until it is written or told. This is what you are doing so well with your unsung hero projects."
- Milken-University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education Education Business Plan Competition - Education entrepreneurs from early-stage start-ups compete in the competition, which features seven prizes totaling $145,000 in funding. In addition to the prizes, all Competition finalists are invited to participate in the Education Design Studio Fund (EDSF), a fund initiative created in collaboration with Penn GSE.
