Back to RLE home Learning Building knowledge, fostering change We foster an environment of continuous knowledge sharing, ensuring the Foundation remains both informed and adaptable. By exploring novel questions and evaluating outcomes we develop the knowledge and tools necessary to be innovative and responsive. RLE home Research Learning Evaluation Our approach to learning We believe a culture of continuous learning is essential to identifying innovative ideas that support solutions designed to improve economic mobility for all. Through intentional knowledge sharing, reflection, and capacity-building efforts, we support Foundation associates, our grantees, and other organizations to evolve, adapt, and maximize impact. Learning isn’t just about gathering information – it’s about applying insights in ways that drive meaningful change. We endeavor to amplify grantee impact, stories, and learnings by leveraging communities of practice. By actively communicating grantee learnings, we can amplify their impact and take collective action to address pressing community needs. We bring together leaders from across sectors to exchange knowledge, tackle common challenges, and co-create solutions. These cohorts provide a collaborative space to learn from others, share successes and setbacks, and explore new approaches. We organize workshops, convenings, and discussions that focus on emerging trends, evidence-based practices, and opportunities for capacity building. These events are designed to foster dialogue, spark ideas, and equip our grantees with the tools they need to be innovative and responsive in their work. We emphasize the importance of reflection in learning. On a regular basis, we take time to review the outcomes, identify lessons learned, and adjust our strategies accordingly. This reflection process ensures that we’re not just repeating the same approaches but constantly evolving based on evidence and feedback.
