The Educators Institute was chartered in 2008 as part of The Schools Foundation:

• to develop, plan, and implement educational initiatives that support the three (3) public school systems in Madison County, Alabama;

• to implement and collaborate on strategies that maximize resources and opportunities of the school systems;

• to  identify and develop partnerships with local, state, and national organizations in the support of public education and its programs

The Educators Institute recruits volunteers to support educational initiatives such as the Principally Speaking Network, Team America Rocket Challenge, A+ College Ready, and Laying the Foundation. The Educators Institute administers scholarships and grants to teachers in the three public school systems as funds are available.

This organization works under the umbrella of the 501c3 Schools Foundation, and, as such, all contributions are tax deductible.
