As the economic and social effects of the COVID-19 pandemic reverberate across the nation into our homes, federal lawmakers are providing financial relief to help restart the economy as states scramble to create jobs and deploy resources to guard against further job losses and budget cuts. Lumina Foundation believes recovery begins with serving today's students and workers through a steadfast commitment to quality and racial equity. Our approach prioritizes equity for learners and communities and invests in a transformed talent-development system that will lead to a safe and systemic national recovery that fosters individual prosperity.
