Every child in America deserves an education that is learner-centered — to discover who they are, develop their gifts, and contribute them meaningfully to the world. Education Reimagined advances learner-centered, equitable public education systems through field-building, community-based ecosystem design, and R&D.
Education Reimagined’s active grantmaking is organized around the Learner-Centered Ecosystem Lab, a selective program that partners with community teams to seed and grow learner-centered ecosystems. The lab model itself is distinctive: it brings districts, youth organizations, microschool networks, and other place-based community groups into a shared learning community with coaching support, pilot site visits, and shared R&D and insights. That structure points to a funder focused on ecosystem-building rather than isolated project awards. The foundation supports learner-centered, equitable public education systems through field-building, community-based ecosystem design, and research and development. Recent grants show that approach in practice. Fbf Education Collective Inc in Brooklyn received $10,166, while Big Thought in Dallas received $8,333. Other recent recipients include The Lab School of Memphis, Liberty Public Schools, and The Big Picture Company LLC, suggesting support for a mix of community organizations, school systems, and learning-network partners working within the same learner-centered framework. Education Reimagined operates as a public charity and does not fund individuals.
In community-based learning ecosystems, Education Reimagined backed place-based groups such as Fabnewport in Newport, The Past Foundation in Columbus, and Rock Tree Sky in Ojai with $8,333 stipend grants. Those awards fit the foundation’s lab model, which is built to seed and grow learner-centered ecosystems with coaching, site visits, and shared R&D. The foundation also supports school- and network-level innovation. Liberty Public Schools in Liberty, Missouri, received $8,333, as did Purdue Polytechnic High School in Indianapolis and Naca Inspired Schools Network in Albuquerque. These grants align with a focus on K-12 education, learner-centered education, and school transformation. A third thread is capacity building for ecosystem builders. The grant to Sparknc in Kure Beach and the grant to Norris School District in Mukwonago point to support for educators and learning communities that are testing new approaches within public education settings.
Recent grants cluster tightly at one size: most listed awards are $8,333 stipends, with a single larger grant of $10,166. That suggests a program of standardized participation or support payments rather than a wide spread of award sizes. Education Reimagined is a public charity, classified as a regular funder, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The pattern also looks recurring and cohort-based rather than one-off. The grant descriptions all read as stipends, and the active Learner-Centered Ecosystem Lab indicates a selective program with community teams participating together. The available data does not show an unsolicited application path; the lab is described as selective and does not accept unsolicited participation.
