The Mimi and Peter Haas Fund is a private family foundation based in San Francisco, CA, with a strong commitment to early childhood education. Established in 1982 by Peter E. Haas and Mimi L. Haas, the Fund supports initiatives that provide children and families with access to high-quality early childhood programs, aiming to create a comprehensive and coordinated system. In addition to direct service grants, the Fund also collaborates with non-profit and public organizations to improve public policy in the field of early childhood education.
With a focus on ensuring that low-income young children and their families have access to quality early care and education, Mimi Haas, the president of the Fund, has been a driving force behind supporting programs that lay the foundation for children's emotional, physical, and intellectual development. The Fund's trustees, including Ari Lurie, who has a background in education and a passion for environmental conservation, work together to advance the Fund's mission. The Fund's staff, led by Program Director Jennifer Curran, brings expertise in early literacy, teacher preparation, and playful learning to support the Fund's initiatives.
