Peg Tyre Email & Phone Number

After three decades as an award-winning journalist and a New York Times bestselling author, I am now largely a builder of nonprofits. At the EGF Accelerator, the country's premier residential incubator for education-related nonprofits, I run the fellows program and serve as a strategist to some amazing startups. Together with a small team, I select organizations for our residential program and help them grow by providing management consulting, enhancing their external partnerships, performing crisis communications work, supporting their fundraising and helping them recruit and retain talented employees. I have brought several small nonprofits to national prominence. I am a senior advisor and board member to Quill.org, a nonprofit ed-tech company that was built around ideas in an award-winning story I wrote for the Atlantic. (Quill.org builds free, open-sourced digital tools to help teachers provide classical writing instruction to low-income students. Quill.org now has over 2 million users.) I serve on the board of PressPassNYC.org (which is putting student run news sites in underserved high schools in New York.) I also run the media portfolio for the foundation. I serve as an advisor to several foundations, institutions and private philanthropists including Vancouver real estate magnate Ryan Beedie. When the assignment is right, I work as an independent journalist and writer and pre-pandemic, spent six weeks in Asia as an Abe Fellow looking at critical thinking in education there. I've written best-selling books and award-winning articles for The New York Times Magazine, the Atlantic, The New York Times, Hechinger, Politico, Smithsonian, Forbes, The Boston Globe, The Washington Post, Scientific American, Time.com and many others. Below are some of the pieces I've written for the New York Times, the Atlantic and others.
