About Learn Fresh Education
Learn Fresh Education Co. funds STEM education and infrastructure projects through a sports-and-learning lens, pairing curriculum materials with technology and space refurbishment at K-12 sites. Its 2023 grants show a clear project-based model: the largest award went to Boys and Girls Club of Harlem for STEM education and infrastructure work, while another large grant supported Eccsd Board of Education in East Cleveland for the same purpose. The foundation’s active programs reinforce that approach. NBA Math Hoops Live Kits delivers physical game-based math resources to selected educational sites, and MLB Players STEM League provides a free baseball-inspired STEM program for schools and youth organizations. A third pathway, the Youth Assist Tracker Challenge, connects student STEAM learning with an NBA Cares and State Farm-linked grant structure. Across these efforts, Learn Fresh uses sports, play, and structured instructional materials to support student engagement, teacher-facing resources, and direct service in schools and out-of-school settings.
What Learn Fresh Education Funds
In school-based STEM and infrastructure support, Learn Fresh Education Co. gave $100,000 to Boys and Girls Club of Harlem to fund technology, curriculum materials, and space refurbishment. The same grant purpose appears in its $50,000 award to Eccsd Board of Education in East Cleveland, showing a consistent emphasis on classroom-ready inputs and learning spaces. The foundation also supports school and youth-serving organizations through program-specific grants tied to its active initiatives. NBA Math Hoops Live Kits centers math learning through a physical activity edition of NBA Math Hoops, while MLB Players STEM League offers a baseball-inspired STEM program with standards-aligned lessons and educator resources. Youth Assist Tracker Challenge adds a STEAM element linked to student participation and community impact.
