Katherine Brittain Bradley
Katherine Brittain Bradley is the president of CityBridge Foundation, a non-profit enterprise located in Washington, D.C. Mrs. Bradley co-founded CityBridge in 1994 with her husband, entrepreneur and magazine publisher David G. Bradley. CityBridge directs practice areas in education and international health and created ServiceCorps, a corporate civic engagement initiative.
Originally formed as The Advisory Board Foundation to focus on problems in international development and pediatric health, CityBridge Foundation has more recently redirected its focus toward improving educational opportunities for students and helping to close the educational achievement gap between higher and lower-income children. In 2006, CityBridge launched a five-year initiative to improve quality and expand capacity in early childhood and elementary education in the District of Columbia. In 2007, CityBridge expanded its impact in education into the K-12 D.C. Public Schools space.
By engaging local business and public leaders, philanthropists and education activists in its mission, the Foundation seeks to leverage its work to stimulate broader public-sector change. Building and fostering strong community partnerships with existing best-in-class organizations is also central to the Foundation’s success.
In addition to her work with CityBridge Foundation, Mrs. Bradley serves as a board member for America’s Promise, the KIPP Foundation, Fight for Children, and Princeton University. She chairs the Washington regional board for Teach for America. She graduated in 1986 from Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. Katherine and David Bradley have three teenage sons.
