Invest "EdVestors has challenged the Boston Public Schools to look for the best, showcase the best, and search for the best ways to ensure that quality is spread across the District for every single student in every school." Since its launch in 2002 by a group of philanthropists and business leaders led by co-founders Philip H. Gordon and Michael Douvadjian, EdVestors has directed more than $9 million to strategic school improvement efforts in Boston and Lowell, MA.

Through its Urban Education Investment Showcase, EdVestors has increased its annual grantmaking on behalf of participating donors and has introduced new opportunities for urban schools in Boston, including the School on the Move Prize in 2006 and the BPS Arts Expansion Initiative in 2009.
