Scale indicators11 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• EVERFI: Large-scale digital SEL, financial literacy, and character education provider serving K-12 districts and corporate partners. Comparable in mission and end-customer (schools, students, funders) though delivered primarily through a digital content platform rather than in-person coaching.
• CASEL (Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning): The defining authority in the U.S. SEL movement, defining district SEL frameworks, rubrics, and policy. Comparable to Frameworks as a thought leader and capacity-builder in SEL, but operates as a research/policy organization rather than a direct service provider.

Direct peers

• CharacterStrong: Provides SEL and character education curricula for K-12 schools, including professional development for educators. Comparable to Frameworks' EQ for Educators and Community Building Sessions programs in delivering structured classroom SEL content and teacher PD.
• Committee for Children: Seattle-based nonprofit and leading publisher of the Second Step SEL curriculum, the most widely adopted classroom-based SEL program in U.S. schools. Directly comparable to Frameworks as a nonprofit delivering evidence-based SEL programming for K-12 students, though at a much larger national scale.
• Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence (RULER): Develops the RULER framework, an evidence-based approach to teaching emotional intelligence in K-12 schools. Closely comparable to Frameworks' Emotional Intelligence Framework (self-awareness, self-management, empathy, relationship skills, responsible decision-making), though anchored at a major university and operating nationally.
• Move This World: Social-emotional learning curriculum provider delivering SEL programming directly into K-12 classrooms via video-based content and educator training. Closely comparable to Frameworks' Community Building Sessions and EQ for Educators offerings, with a stronger technology/content delivery layer.

Emerging players

• Purpose Prep: Smaller nonprofit delivering social-emotional learning and character development programming to schools. Comparable as a mission-aligned SEL provider for K-12 students; an emerging player at smaller scale than Frameworks' Tampa Bay operation.

Regional players

• Boys & Girls Clubs of America: National youth development nonprofit providing after-school programming including SEL components. Comparable to Frameworks' EQ for Organizations program; Frameworks is already a partner of Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Tampa Bay, illustrating the operational overlap in youth services delivery.
• Kids Hope USA: National nonprofit pairing adult mentors with at-risk elementary students in school-based mentoring relationships. Comparable in mission to Frameworks' youth mentoring training and school-based youth development programs, though focused specifically on one-on-one mentoring.
• Big Brothers Big Sisters of America: National youth mentoring organization. Comparable to Frameworks' work training mentors (316 trained in 2025-26) and is an active partner (Big Brothers Big Sisters of Tampa Bay), with overlapping focus on youth development outcomes.
