About FAMILY ENGAGEMENT LAB

Research confirms EIN 37-1905784 corresponds to Family Engagement Lab, a 501(c)(3) public charity based in San Francisco that operates the FASTalk (Families and Schools Talk) family engagement platform.

Family Engagement Lab designs and implements research‑based digital products and coaching that help teachers engage families in supporting students' literacy, math, and social‑emotional learning. Its signature product, FASTalk, delivers curriculum‑aligned, actionable learning activities and communication via SMS in families’ preferred languages and is built to integrate with district curricula and teacher workflows.

The organization reports serving tens of thousands of students and families and has expanded partnerships with districts, philanthropic funders, and education partners. In the last 2–3 years Family Engagement Lab secured major philanthropic support to scale FASTalk, launched FASTalk.AI pilots to increase content alignment and multilingual reach, and announced partnerships to accelerate district adoption and professional learning.

Notable achievements

Large multi‑year reach

Family Engagement Lab reports having served more than 55,000 students and their families to date, with a substantial share of messages delivered in languages other than English, and a multi‑year plan to expand reach toward six‑figure student coverage.

Major grant to scale FASTalk (Oct 2024)

Received a committed grant from a major philanthropic funder in October 2024 to invest in scaling FASTalk, supporting alignment of family messaging to high‑quality instructional materials and expansion of district partnerships.

Evidence of measurable student gains

Multiple program evaluations (quasi‑experimental and partner studies) report statistically significant literacy improvements for FASTalk participants—particularly for English Learners and students whose families do not share a language with their teacher—and show larger gains for students whose families actively engage with the platform.
