Grantmaking

Foundation 65 makes a difference

We aspire to provide seed funding to educators to incubate an idea or intervention. We are hopeful that our grantmaking promotes dignity and agency for both the students and the educators receiving grants. 

We fund through three main initiatives: 

Educator Grants

These grants support learning interventions and initiatives that uplift BIPOC students and strengthen family engagement, driven by innovative educator programming.

Educator Leadership

With the goal of actively addressing teacher burnout and retention challenges, this year-long cohort opportunity reenergizes and connects educators, helping them transform their teaching, students, and schools.

Educator Scholarship

We support educators in obtaining advanced degrees and certifications, focusing on those with limited financial means to help propel career growth and retain underrepresented populations in our workforce.
