E2i Access Bridge Initiative

Empowering Underrepresented Institutions

E2i Access Bridge Initiative is a fiscally sponsored project of Social Good Fund, a California nonprofit corporation and registered 501(c)(3) organization, Tax ID (EIN) 46-1323531.

At E2i Partners, we believe that every learner and every institution deserves a real pathway to the future of work.
Yet across the country, too many under-resourced campuses and talented students are being left behind—cut off from the connections, partnerships, and opportunities that power innovation and prosperity.

Together, we can change that.

The Moment

Education and workforce development are in a time of unprecendent change:

  • Institutions face funding pressures and policy shifts

  • AI Changing the landscape of work

  • Employers struggle closing workforce skills gap

  • Learners lack pathways to opportunity

Our Vision

  • Empower under-represented institutions (MSIs and Community Colleges) - increase access, impact, and outcomes through greater program visibility.

  • Education and Industry - Build capacity to co-create learning solutions rooted in research, built with business insight, and designed to perform. Learning aligned to business goals.

  • Build scalable, equitable models for the future of work.

How It Works

  • 100 institutions receive subsidized platform access and onboarding to increase program visibility to employers

  • Subsidize 25 pilot-ready schools to co-create employer-aligned programs

  • Certified E2i Impact Architects partner with institutions and employers to ensure accountability, measurable outcomes, and scalable programs design

Why it Matters

  • Rapidly changing roles demand new skills to take organizations forward.

  • Policy shifts have strained all postsecondary academic institutions; however, MSIs - already underfunded - face the greatest losses.

  • This initiative builds a national proof of concept to scale equity, relevance, and opportunity.

Our Role, Your Insight

We seek to listen, learn, and align with funders shaping the future of education and work - at scale to build a new framework of collaboration, resilience, and opportunity.

Change doesn’t happen by chance—it happens by design. The E2i Access Bridge Initiative is a bold blueprint for building bridges, closing gaps, and sparking the next wave of progress — at scale.
