Applicants should align proposals tightly with the foundation's stated education priorities (Science of Reading, charter growth, two-generation family learning), propose asks sized in line with past grants (many awards in the $100K–$250K band and several larger awards), and use the published proposals email/phone or mailed submission route. Emphasize measurable student/family outcomes, scalability, and clear budgets; note that new organizations have been funded in recent years, so a strong, evidence-based unsolicited request can be considered.
