We deploy large-scale philanthropic capital — $500,000 to $5M+ — into district-wide, statewide, and nationwide STEM education initiatives in K–12 public schools across the United States. We are not a grant-maker in the traditional sense. We are an education infrastructure organisation: we design programmes, source delivery partners, manage fiscal sponsorship, coordinate delivery, and produce rigorous outcome reports — so funders can deploy significant capital efficiently and schools can focus entirely on teaching.

Conversely, schools were overwhelmed by the administrative burden of applying for and managing disparate grants. We built the infrastructure to connect capital directly to highly-effective interventions. Today, we manage a multi-million dollar portfolio of active projects across six states. Our philosophy: the gap between what schools need and what they receive is not a resource problem. It's a coordination problem. We fix that. --- ## DESIGN YOUR STEM INVESTMENT TOOL URL: https://www.eduvationfoundation.org/tools/design-your-investment An AI-powered tool for corporate funders.
