Eduvation Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit education intermediary that deploys 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 education infrastructure: we design programmes, source delivery partners, manage fiscal sponsorship, coordinate delivery, and produce rigorous outcome reports — so funders deploy capital efficiently and schools focus entirely on teaching.
Tagline: From philanthropic intent to classroom reality.
Founded in 2026, Eduvation Foundation emerged from a simple observation: foundations, corporations, and NGOs wanted to deploy significant capital into STEM education at scale — but lacked the infrastructure to design, source, and manage district-wide, statewide, or nationwide programmes. 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.
We believe the gap between what schools need and what they receive is not a resource problem. It's a coordination problem. We fix that.

Express your funding interest. Our team reaches out within 48 hours to confirm details. No online payment is processed.
Our vetted delivery partners execute the project in-school, managing all logistics, staffing, and procurement.
Full outcome report delivered within 90 days of project completion, including student outcome data, teacher feedback, and media.
For foundations, corporations, and family offices deploying $500k–$5M+ into systemic, district-scale or statewide STEM initiatives. Naming rights and co-branding available at district, state, or nationwide level.
Schools post their own projects on Eduvation Fund — our separate crowdfunding platform for smaller, school-level initiatives open to community donors.
All projects are fully scoped and open to three types of participant: a corporate funder (with exclusivity options), technology or hardware partners, and the schools delivering on the ground.
A mobile VR and technology kit that travels to all 32 NYC public school districts, bringing immersive STEM learning, career exploration, and digital skills directly to students regardless of their school's infrastructure or postcode.

Fully funded and in active delivery. Early outcome data: 67% increase in digital task completion rates among participating 3rd graders vs. the district baseline.
Multi-year CPD for every middle school science and maths teacher in Baltimore City — summer institute, embedded coaching, peer observation cycles, and a national practitioner-researcher network. The highest-leverage investment in the district ecosystem.
Exclusivity available: Maryland.
Eight engineering design hubs with CAD, 3D prototyping, and physical fabrication capabilities — fully funded and in delivery. Curriculum integrates with maths and physics pathways; culminates in community-facing capstone projects.
Fully delivered. Outcomes: 52% increase in weekly experimental instruction time; measurable improvement in standardised science assessment scores; 87% of teachers reported increased confidence in hands-on instruction.
Eduvation Foundation operates as a venture philanthropy intermediary. We identify high-leverage intervention opportunities, structure the investment, select and manage delivery partners, and measure outcomes with the rigour of an institutional investor.
Physical and digital infrastructure that enables high-quality STEM instruction: laboratories, fabrication equipment, computing hardware, and connectivity.
Evidence-based platforms that personalise learning, provide real-time teacher dashboards, and generate longitudinal outcome data.
Professional development programmes that improve instructional quality at scale, compounding impact across every student a teacher ever teaches.
District-wide programme architecture that ensures interventions are embedded, sustainable, and measurable — not one-off events.
Funder: The Stein Family Foundation | School: New York City Department of Education | Students: 8,400 | Duration: 20 weeks
Challenge: No single school-level programme could reach the breadth of students needed. The intervention had to be systemic.
Approach: Deployed mobile VR kits and career exploration technology across 28 schools in a first-phase pilot, managed end-to-end by Ednology.
Outcome: 91% of students reported increased STEM interest. Teachers logged a 44% increase in student-led inquiry during programme weeks.
"This wasn't a one-school experiment. It was proof that immersive learning can work at city scale — and that the Foundation can manage that complexity."
Funder: Hartmann Family Office | School: Orange County Public Schools | Students: 22,000 | Duration: 16 weeks
Challenge: Math proficiency across OCPS had declined for three consecutive years. The district needed a solution that worked at scale.
Approach: Ednology deployed Knowla across a 40-school pilot cohort with full teacher onboarding, real-time dashboards, and custom curriculum modules aligned to Florida standards.
Outcome: Students using the platform for 12+ weeks showed a 31% improvement in formative assessment scores vs. the district control group.
"For the first time in years, we have a tool that teachers actually want to use — and data that shows it's working."
Funder: The Kresge Foundation | School: Detroit Public Schools Community District | Students: 2,800 | Duration: 18 weeks
Challenge: Talented students with no access to engineering pathways. A single-school intervention would leave thousands behind.
Approach: Coordinated eight-school engineering network with shared curriculum, inter-school design challenges, and a common outcome measurement framework.
Outcome: 47% of programme graduates enrolled in post-secondary STEM courses within two years — vs. 18% in the control group.
"The Foundation didn't just fund a programme. They built an ecosystem. That's the difference between a grant and a real investment." — The Kresge Foundation
Every project is measured against a pre-agreed outcome framework developed during the scoping phase. Metrics typically include: student assessment scores (pre/post), teacher confidence and practice surveys, programme completion rates, post-programme enrolment in STEM pathways, and employer/community feedback where applicable.
All outcome data is collected and analysed by our Head of Impact & Evaluation, and independently verified where possible. Reports are delivered in a standardised format to enable cross-portfolio comparison.
