Steve and Connie Ballmer are giving $60 million over six years to a program created by StriveTogether, a national nonprofit that seeks to improve education for low-income children.
Mr. Ballmer, the former chief executive of Microsoft, and his wife are giving the money through the Ballmer Group, a grant maker they set up last year to devote their nearly $34 billion fortune to fight intergenerational poverty across the country.
The program, called StriveTogether Cradle to Career Network, centers on reducing racial and socioeconomic disparities in educational success and improving partnerships among school systems, education service organizations, and other groups that provide human services to needy families.
