The document traces the history and development of the Bonner Foundation from 1990 to 2010, including the expansion of the Bonner Network to additional schools. It outlines the Bonner approach through three lenses: student development, community partnerships, and campus infrastructure. Finally, it presents results from a partner survey that identified capacity building, convening, and community-based research as activities that were most needed.
