TalkingPoints is a non-profit organization whose mission is to drive student success by unlocking the potential of families to fuel their children’s learning, especially in under-resourced communities. Founded to help teachers connect with under-resourced and non-English speaking families, TalkingPoints uses human and AI-powered, two-way translated communication to deliver information and personalized content directly to parents.
With the help of Overdeck Family Foundation funding, TalkingPoints has expanded its reach more than 6x since March, connecting 3+ million teachers and families and enabling 100 million conversations in 100 languages. Early data from TalkingPoints show that 89% of families are more informed about what is happening at school and 87% of families had more conversations about school with their children at home, while 88% of teachers saw positive outcomes on student attendance, behavior and engagement.
Enhancing each stage of childhood learning, from birth to high school.
Overdeck Family Foundation focuses exclusively on education, providing funding across four focus areas that encompass the whole child from birth through high school both inside and outside the classroom.
