Fundación Educacional Crecer con Todos

What Fundación Educacional Crecer con Todos does

Fundación Educacional Crecer con Todos is a Chilean nonprofit educational foundation founded in 2010 to address the country's early-literacy crisis, where 6 of 10 children in vulnerable contexts cannot read or understand what they read by 4th grade. The foundation delivers its flagship Primero LEE program to vulnerable public and subsidized schools across Chile from preschool through 4th grade. Implementation spans 39+ communes and 285 schools nationwide, supported by a multidisciplinary team of 130+ coordinators, tutors, and pedagogical staff, with cumulative reach of 33,000+ students.

The product portfolio combines the Primero LEE Program (curriculum, teacher training, classroom support, monitoring) with the Primero LEE Digital Assessment System for diagnostics, a Primero LEE+ reinforcement module for struggling readers, a Reading Leveling Program (Viaje por las letras) targeting pandemic-era learning losses, a Socio-Emotional Support Program, and a consumer-facing mobile application on iOS, Android, and Microsoft Store that functions offline. Interactive phonological awareness and reading games (Jugando con los sonidos, Jugando con las letras, Viaje por las letras, Juegos para ejercitar la lectura), an audiobook library on YouTube, downloadable home worksheets (Aprende en Casa), and a Moodle-based training platform (capacitaciones.fundacioncrecer.net) for teacher professional development round out the ecosystem. Reported outcomes include a 91% reading-acquisition rate among non-reading 2nd graders in the leveling program.

The foundation's revenue model is diversified across four non-commercial streams: (1) corporate and private donations eligible under Chile's Ley de Donaciones con Fines Sociales N° 19.885; (2) Social Impact Contracts (Contratos de Impacto Social) with impact investors and foundations, including the first CIS in Chile for Primero LEE in Estación Central; (3) SEP Law (Ley de Subvención Escolar Preferencial) school-subsidy-funded program contracts authorized via the foundation's Certificado de Asistencia Técnica Educativa from the Ministry of Education; and (4) ChileCompra Mercado Público procurement contracts enabled by the foundation's registered provider status. Distribution is field-sales-led through direct engagement of municipal education departments (Corporación Municipal de San Bernardo, CEAS) and individual schools, augmented by digital self-serve channels (mobile app, web games) for families and teachers. Donor and partner quality is high, including Tinker Foundation, Fundación Colunga, Falabella (Haciendo Escuela), and a coalition of major Chilean family foundations; the foundation holds 8 consecutive years of FECU Social certification.
