The State Policy Network (SPN) is seeking proposals for the Ed-Prize Grant Program that inspires and accelerates new solutions to improve education outcomes across the country.
Focus Areas
SPN seeks proposals that fit within two primary areas of focus: policy development and civil society.
- Policy Development: Create public policy solutions to:
- Increase access to blended/digital education in rural school districts to empower children in traditionally low-performing regions to achieve better educational outcomes;
- Demonstrate a clear path to improvements in education outcomes via student performance data, especially in schools with documented poor performance; and/or
- Increase transparency in education financing to empower parents and teachers to hold their schools accountable.
- Civil Society: Implement solutions that directly improve student outcomes:
- Create non-traditional education options or alternatives
- Launch outreach programs to engage parents in creating better education options in their communities; and/or
- Implement curriculum or programs that work with current public or private schools.
Funding Information
- A limited number of projects will be selected to receive a grant award. Amounts will range from $20,000 to $75,000.
- Projects can include marketing and implementation plans, and only one proposal from each organization will be accepted.
Eligibility Criteria
This highly competitive grant program is open to all non-profit members of the education community. Organizations must have a 501(c) (3) designation to apply for funding.
