Ballmer Group, the philanthropic organization founded by Connie and Steve Ballmer, is giving $4.2 million to University of Chicago’s TMW Center for Early Learning + Public Health to fund its work that develops a model for a community-wide approach to promote cognitive and language development in young children.
The initial phase of the work will be to partner with Palm Beach County, Fla., as the site for the first community-wide rollout of TMW programs. Working alongside Children’s Services Council of Palm Beach County, the TMW Center will embed its suite of evidence-based interventions within the community’s already existing health, education and social service systems.
