The purpose of this program is to support educational initiatives, with an emphasis on those that improve educational opportunities for children in grades K-8. Funding is intended to support proposals that describe a plausible and practical chain of events leading to tangible results for children. Funding will support organizations that work directly with children and families, including teachers and other frontline workers, that have simple, original ideas embedded with a strong implementation plan. Additionally, funding will support organizations engaged in research, policy analysis, advocacy, or other work that does not affect children directly but creates a strategic impact.
