    • Independently, Heckscher Foundation CEO Peter Sloane was a founding trustee of the first charter school in New York State, Sisulu Victory Academy.

    We are thankful for the generous support from the Heckscher Foundation and our collaboration with Modern States, which has transformed the culture of college access and success for all of our students. Through the Modern States program and the CLEP Exams, MESA students have accumulated enough credits to enter college as sophomores. This has shifted the realm of possibilities for all of our students and families!
