We don't run an open RFP, but we read every email. The fastest way to get a response is to tell us specifically what you do and what you need — a paragraph is plenty to start.
If you're a teacher, school leader, university faculty member, or community organizer running CS, AI, or entrepreneurship programming in an underserved community, we'd like to hear from you. Tell us where you're working, what you're trying to build, and what you most need.
The Foundation makes mission-related investments in companies and funds whose work expands access to technical education, scientific research, or entrepreneurship in underserved communities. We invest at small check sizes and follow-on selectively.
We occasionally co-fund research at the intersection of education, entrepreneurship, and institutional context. We're particularly interested in field-experimental and quasi-experimental work in underserved communities, where the research itself is conducted in genuine partnership with the people it studies.
We say this not to be discouraging but to save your time. If you're unsure whether your work fits, write us a paragraph anyway.
