Request for Proposals: Innovative Postsecondary Models Fund – Apply by Sep 14

Posted by Panorama Global on August 11, 2026

The Innovative Postsecondary Models (IPM) Fund seeks proposals from organizations operating innovative postsecondary education models that are rethinking how education is designed, delivered, financed, and assessed for learners in the United States.

Managed by Panorama Global, the IPM Fund is a donor collaborative funded by Ascendium Education Group, College Futures Foundation, ECMC Foundation, Gates Foundation, the Evelyn and Walter Haas, Jr. Fund, Lumina Foundation, the Raikes Foundation, and Strada Education Foundation.

Through this request for proposals, the IPM Fund will identify and fund high-potential education models that are reimagining how postsecondary education can remove barriers and increase access and improve outcomes for learners across the U.S.

The Fund is interested in innovations that benefit all learners, but especially learners whom the data show encounter the greatest obstacles to opportunity. The goal of this Fund is not only to provide funding to innovative models, but also to learn from selected grantees on how to reduce barriers to postsecondary access and increase student success outcomes to help inform the role philanthropy can play in supporting higher education innovation.
