Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan's Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) will close its tuition-free Primary School in the Bay Area at the end of the 2025-26 school year. The school, which combined education and healthcare for low-income families, cited CZI's withdrawal of support as the reason for closure. CZI will donate $50 million to affected families and communities. This decision comes amid broader shifts at CZI and Meta, reflecting a change in Zuckerberg's political alignment and a refocusing of CZI's philanthropic efforts away from social advocacy.
