The Imagine Learning Foundation, the philanthropic wing of the Imagine Learning company, works to foster the well-being of learners and the people who support them at home and in their communities.

According to the foundation, schools can better develop healthy and supportive learning environments when social and emotional learning (SEL) programs are extended from classrooms into homes and communities. To that end, the foundation aims to bridge the meaningful connection between SEL in the classroom and SEL outside the classroom by facilitating access to social-emotional learning at home and in the community. By bringing SEL into life beyond the classroom, the foundation wishes to activate a learner’s full community and support system to ignite more breakthroughs in every learning environment.

The Imagine Signature Grant Program has established two funding priorities to advance this work:

Well-Being Outside the Classroom: Supports social, physical, mental, and emotional well-being programs, activities, or services that foster the learning well-being of youth, families, and educators within the home and community environments.

Education and Community Research: Studies the current impacts that social, physical, mental, and emotional well-being has on accelerating student achievement across diverse communities.

The ILF will award two $100,000 Imagine Signature Grants for one or a combination of both funding priority areas of focus. The awarded programs will be funded for up to twelve months and program start date(s) may occur between July 1, 2022, and September 30, 2022.

National organizations will be prioritized, though the ILF will accept grant applications from regional organizations. Priority will be given to organizations focused on high-need communities.

To be eligible, applicants must be tax exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

For complete program guidelines and application instructions, see the Imagine Learning website.

Deadline: April 30, 2022

The Brady Education Foundation aims to close the opportunity gaps between children living in under-resourced and/or underrepresented communities and other children.

The foundation invites proposals focused on evaluating programs with the potential to help close the opportunity and resulting achievement gaps associated with race and family income.

The primary goal of the proposal must concern the evaluation of the effectiveness of programs designed to promote positive cognitive and/or achievement outcomes for children between the ages of birth and 18 from underserved groups and/or low-resourced communities (e.g., minoritized ethnic groups and low-income families). Secondary goals may also focus on one or more of the following: variations in program effects (i.e., test for moderation effects that inform whether effects are stronger for specific groups and/or under certain conditions than other groups or conditions), mechanisms through which effects occur (i.e., test for mediation effects that inform why the program is effective), and cost-benefit analyses of the costs of the program (start-up and ongoing operational costs) with its estimated monetary benefits to determine the net worth or use associated with the program.

The foundation will award support for up to two key personnel from the evaluation team and one practitioner or service provider from the program to attend one conference the final (or only) year of the project, with an allowable cost of $1,500 per person. Projects may span up to three years.

Applicants must be principal investigators with a nonprofit as a home institution. Applicants at all career stages may apply.

Stage-one proposals are due April 1, 2022, and selected applicants will be invited to submit a stage-two proposal by August 1, 2022.

For complete program guidelines and application instructions, see the Brady Education Foundation website.

Deadline: April 1, 2022 (Stage-One Proposals)

To that end, grants of up to $50,000 will be awarded to nonprofit legal service providers, private attorneys, and/or small law firms working to advance social justice in civil and human rights, anti-poverty, and environmental justice cases that impact a marginalized group. Grants typically range between $10,000 and $50,000 and are usually awarded for a particular case, but occasionally the fund will support a series of cases connected by a common strategy. Most grants are for class actions, but multi-plaintiff and environmental justice cases that aim to affect a larger system significantly are encouraged.

Impact Fund grants may be used for out-of-pocket litigation expenses such as expert fees and discovery costs but may not be used for attorney’s fees, staff, or other overhead.

Due to the pandemic, the fund will fast-track urgent COVID-19-related requests submitted in the month following the LOI deadline.

Letters of interest must be received no later than April 12, 2022, and selected applicants will be invited to submit a full application by May 10, 2022.

For complete program guidelines and application instructions, see the Impact Fund website.
