Mission & Focus Areas
The foundation focuses its giving on integrating global perspectives and skills into U.S. PK–12 education and teacher preparation. Its website identifies state and districtwide efforts in internationalization and global competence, global perspectives in teacher preparation and professional development, global-ready classrooms, studies and communities, and global-ready career pathways as areas of work.
The foundation’s website describes one-year project grants and gives priority to proposals that support teacher professional development, globalizing career pathways, use AI to bring the world into classrooms, foster civic discourse, or expand access to online global content. Projects are expected to contribute to the field or reach significant numbers of students. The foundation favors startup or expansion work and says it is interested in projects with other funding sources and a plan for sustainability.
In its 2024 filing, the foundation said applicants should be universities or national, regional, or state education organizations, and described its support as directed toward projects in global competence and international understanding that reach large numbers of U.S. elementary and secondary schools, as well as efforts to internationalize traditional teacher-preparation programs.
Examples from 2025 show support for varied education organizations. iCivics describes its mission as advancing equitable, nonpartisan civic education and providing civics and history resources to teachers and students. Students of Service says it develops young leaders with a global perspective through local community service and informed international experiences. The National Council for the Social Studies describes its work as building capacity for high-quality social studies and supporting educators nationwide.
Grantmaking
In 2025, the foundation reported 13 grants totaling $191,223. The grant amounts ranged from $2,000 to $20,000, with a median of $15,000. Its website says most grants are between $10,000 and $20,000.
Among the reported 2025 awards were $20,000 to Montana World Affairs Council to engage U.S. middle students in envisioning economic opportunity; $20,000 to Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights to support arts-education approaches in civic learning through theater; $20,000 to iCivics to build online teacher professional-development resources; $15,000 to Students of Service for after-school programs; and $10,000 to the National Public Education Support Fund for ongoing operations and a learning collaborative.
The foundation does not fund projects outside the United States, projects reaching small numbers of students and teachers, work that does not primarily advance global understanding in U.S. K–12 education, individual schools or programs within individual schools, international travel, projects linked to a specific country, individuals, or for-profit entities. Its website also limits overhead or indirect costs to 10%. The 2024 filing additionally says it does not fund general operations or building support.
