The John and Janet Buckner Education Fund is currently operating under a founder-led model focused on building the infrastructure, systems, and strategic foundation necessary for long-term success.

Supported by an engaged team of advisors and subject matter experts, the Fund is intentionally building a majority-independent Board of Directors, consistent with national nonprofit governance best practices.

This phased approach provides the governance, accountability, and stewardship needed to sustain the mission for generations to come.
