The Fields Institute
For Equity, Literacy, and Economic Power
The Fields Institute operates at the powerful intersection of literacy and economic advancement. Founded by Dr. La Tasha D. Fields, a global literacy leader, and Jason M. Fields, a certified economic developer and former legislator, the Institute brings over 50 years of combined expertise across education, government, and finance.
Grounded in the belief that literacy fuels economic power—and that true literacy must lead to opportunity—we deliver keynote experiences, professional development, and family-centered programming that unite both. Serving schools, organizations, and communities nationwide, the Fields Institute helps translate knowledge into lasting economic impact—where literacy is the root and economic power is the result.
