A new program will offer the imprimatur of certification for leaders of local foundations created to help public and private P-12 schools, inviting leaders of those philanthropies to undergo training on effective management, networking, and fundraising.

The certification program is being led by the National School Foundation Association, a Naperville, Ill.-based organization that provides training and support for leaders of P-12 foundations.

The program is not directed at big grantmaking foundations in education, but rather small foundations
