By providing the framework to share student data with each partner, translating data into usable information and equipping partners to act, The Budd Center empowers nonprofits and schools to reach more children in impactful ways. The Budd Center harnesses the full resources of SMU to support TSZ partners — through staff training, networking events, faculty-led projects and volunteer placement. The TSZ model embodies the true spirit of collective impact.
