A national 501(c)(3) educational non-profit dedicated to bridging the digital divide by providing schools and students with access to educational technology, wireless internet access, and interactive connectivity to support equitable learning opportunities.
Views on Learning Inc centers its grantmaking on educational technology and connectivity, with equipment purchases appearing repeatedly across its recent awards. The largest recent grant in the data was $50,000 to Fairbanks North Star Borough School in Fairbanks, Alaska, for equipment purchase, a signal that the foundation supports school-level infrastructure rather than individual awards. Another sizable grant went to Spencer County Educational Foundation in Taylorsville, Kentucky, at $27,549 for equipment purchase, reinforcing the pattern of funding practical tools for classroom use. The organization’s stated mission is to bridge the digital divide by giving schools and students access to educational technology, wireless internet access, and interactive connectivity to support equitable learning opportunities. That mission aligns with its active programs, which include wireless internet access devices, technology innovation grants for accredited schools, STEM activity support, and Zoom license access. Recent grants also show support for schools and education-related organizations in Indiana and beyond, including Mishawaka Educational Foundation and National Association of Education Foundations, all tied to equipment-focused support. The foundation is a regular funder with a national geographic scope and a clear emphasis on capital-like purchases that improve learning access.
Digital equity is a clear thread in the grant record. Views on Learning Inc’s wireless internet access program provides broadband devices to accredited schools in its service areas, and its interactive connectivity program supplies Zoom licenses for virtual classrooms and remote learning. A separate technology innovation grant program supports hardware, software, and related items for direct academic instruction. The recent grants table shows that this emphasis translates into equipment purchases for school and education foundation recipients, including Queen of Peace Catholic School in Mishawaka and Woodview Elementary School in Nappanee. STEM enrichment is another supported area through the STEM Activity Grant, which funds student projects beyond the classroom such as robotics competitions, summer STEM camps, field trips, guest speakers, and special STEM materials. That makes the foundation’s support broader than basic connectivity alone, extending into hands-on learning and student enrichment.

Grant sizes in the active programs range from $7,500 to $25,000 for TIGER awards, and the recent grants list shows a median gift of $12,935, with the middle half of grants falling between $10,250 and $17,130. The record is consistent with one-time, equipment-specific support rather than recurring operating grants. Recent awards all appear to be made to organizations, not individuals, and the foundation is classified as a regular funder. The same 2025 data set shows grants across a spread of amounts, from a $7,500 award to Martin Luther Grammar School to a $50,000 award at the top of the list, suggesting flexible sizing within its equipment-oriented model. Unsolicited applications are accepted for the active programs listed.
The foundation gives nationally, but its recent awards are concentrated in the United States, with 15 grants to U.S. recipients in the country distribution provided. Indiana appears frequently in the recent grants table, including Mishawaka, South Bend, Nappanee, Goshen, Plymouth, Warren, and New Albany. Outside Indiana, awards also reached Fairbanks, Alaska; Taylorsville, Kentucky; Cockeysville, Maryland; Covington, Georgia; Casper and Sheridan, Wyoming. The grant geography fits a national school-support model rather than a single-city footprint.
It funds organizations and programs tied to schools, educational foundations, and other education-related recipients. The recent grants list includes school recipients such as Queen of Peace Catholic School, Woodview Elementary School, and Saint Michael Catholic School, along with education foundations and associations. The foundation does not fund individuals.
The typical grant size is tightly clustered: the 25th percentile is $10,250, the median is $12,935, and the 75th percentile is $17,130. Its TIGER program also lists awards from $7,500 to $25,000.
Yes. The active programs listed for wireless internet access, interactive connectivity, the STEM Activity Grant, and the TIGER Grant each note that unsolicited applications are accepted.
Its stated focus areas are K-12 education, educational technology, STEM education, digital equity, and internet connectivity or broadband access. The program descriptions also emphasize hardware, software, Zoom licenses, wireless devices, and student STEM activities.
The foundation gives nationally, but 60% of grants go to recipients in Indiana, which is also the top state by grant count. Recent recipients include schools and education organizations in Mishawaka, South Bend, Nappanee, Goshen, Plymouth, Warren, and New Albany.
