Ideal Applicant
A K–12-focused organization or district-level partner working on technology access or scalable learning-innovation projects with capacity to manage sizable grants or subawards and to operate at state or multi-state scale.
Good Fit
- • Direct work with middle or secondary schools on technology access or digital learning programs.
- • Capacity to manage multi-hundred-thousand-dollar or million-dollar awards and subawards.
- • Track record of partnerships with school districts, charter networks, or research institutions.
- • Project aims to scale or research learning innovations with measurable student/teacher outcomes.
- • Willingness to participate in broader programmatic networks or reporting collaborations.
Geography
In the latest year grants reached about 26 states and the funder appears to operate nationally; the largest state accounted for roughly one-fifth of giving but most dollars went out of state.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 54 distinct recipients (58 grants) including many independent school districts, charter schools, and other education organizations, so the recipient set is broad for the funder's scale despite some concentration among top recipients.
New Applicants
Behavioral evidence shows 21 new recipients in the latest year (about 39% of recipients), indicating turnover and real entry by unfamiliar organizations; filings lack formal application instructions, so this conclusion is based on recipient turnover rather than a published open-grant process.
