INSPIRASI Foundation

What INSPIRASI Foundation does

INSPIRASI Foundation is an Indonesian non-profit organization established in 2019 and a member of the Global School Leaders (GSL) network, which operates in six or more countries. The foundation targets improvements in primary school student literacy and numeracy outcomes by building the leadership capacity of school principals, supervisors, and teachers. Its service model relies on a cascade training architecture delivered through Indonesia's formal K3S (principal) and KKG (teacher) community-of-practice structures, with structured workshop modules, peer coaching, and follow-up supervision visits at participating schools.

INSPIRASI runs a portfolio of distinct programs: Program Rintisan (founding school leadership program), BERKUALITAS (quality improvement), BERSAMA (multi-district partnership program, including expansion into Sumba Barat Daya), PAUD Prestasi (early-childhood program launched with PT AMMAN Mineral in 2023), AKSELERASI (numeracy remediation funded by UBS Optimus Foundation), and Sekolah Enuma (a digital learning application). It has also partnered with UNICEF on a Gender Responsive School Program. As of recent reporting, the foundation has reached approximately 983 principals, 96 supervisors, 3,504 teachers, and 80,594 students across eight districts in five provinces.

The foundation's business model is grant-funded: operating revenue is sourced from a mix of international philanthropic donors (William & Lily Foundation, The Head Foundation, UBS Optimus Foundation), corporate and CSR partners (Adaro Foundation, BTS Spark, PT AMMAN Mineral), and multilateral agencies (UNICEF). Delivery is conducted through formal agreements with district and provincial government education authorities (Dinas Pendidikan), which provide access to schools and embed the program within official supervisor and principal routines. The organization is staffed at the 11–50 employee level and has external validation including selection as a Top 5 finalist in the AVPN Constellations 2020.
