My post on March 16th got me thinking about grants. I specifically looked into the grants provided by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation because I come across an article every couple months that tells the story of a group working to improve education systems using money from the Gates foundation to fund the group’s education strategy.
The Gates foundation is looking to provide grants to tax-exempt organizations that will benefit as many people as possible with a strategy that includes measureable results. Many of their grants benefit those in developing countries. They also provide grants through their
United States Program whose mission is the following: Help ensure greater opportunity for all Americans through the attainment of secondary and postsecondary education with genuine economic value.
Click here to learn who is eligible for a grant, the types of projects the foundation supports, and how to apply.The organizations that have already received grants:
Washington STEM, “a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing innovation, equity, and excellence in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education in Washington state.”
Inigral Inc., an organization that created an education-focused social media digital product, the Schools App, built on Facebook Platform.
Next Generation Learning Challenges invests in technologists, institutions, educators, and entrepreneurs with strong plans to create technology solutions for students.
(How can you not love the Gates??)
