Every kid deserves access to a great school. We partner with schools to launch, sustain, and replicate great schools to ensure every kid, especially those most underserved, has access to a high-quality public education.
Opportunity 180’s recent grantmaking is anchored by a federal Charter School Program effort in Nevada, including a $1.71 million planning and CSP grant to Northwest Evaluation Association and a $1.65 million real program grant to Square Panda Inc. That portfolio points to a funder focused on launching, expanding, and supporting public charter schools, with education-system work extending beyond school operations into leadership development, family engagement, and facilities financing. The foundation’s own summary emphasizes access: partnering with schools to launch, sustain, and replicate great schools so that underserved students have access to high-quality public education. The biggest awards in the recent grants list sit alongside smaller program, planning, and general grants, which suggests the organization uses a mix of large-scale implementation funding and targeted support. Nevada names appear repeatedly across the list, including Teach Las Vegas, Beacon Academy of Nevada, Civica Nevada Career & Collegiate Academy, Battle Born Academy, and Sage Collegiate Public Charter School. That pattern aligns with Opportunity 180’s active grant programs for Nevada fellowships, the Nevada Facilities Fund, and Great Schools for Nevada subgrants.
Charter school launch and expansion is the clearest theme in the recent grants. Opportunity 180 gave $985,238 to Teach Las Vegas for a CSP and general grant, $672,935 to Pinecrest Academy of Nothern Nevada for a CSP grant, and $616,467 to Battle Born Academy for a CSP grant. Those awards show support for schools at different stages of growth. Leadership development is another major thread. The foundation awarded $194,374 to Citizens of the World Charter Schools for a Propel Fellowship and $166,886 to The New Teacher Project Inc for a cohort. Its active fellowship programs also include LEED Fellowship and Propel Fellowships in Nevada. Family engagement appears through direct support as well. Opportunity 180 gave $410,000 to Power 2 Parent for a program grant, and its Family Power Impact Grants are designed for organizations that strengthen families’ voices in education.
Opportunity 180’s typical grant size sits in a broad middle range: the 25th percentile is $48,906, the median is $124,746, and the 75th percentile is $426,520. The recent list shows both large planning or CSP awards and smaller program, general, and facility grants, which indicates a layered funding approach. The same organizations appear across multiple years, including Teach Las Vegas, Beacon Academy of Nevada, Civica Nevada Career & Collegiate Academy, Battle Born Academy, Sage Collegiate Public Charter School, and Pinecrest Academy of Northern Nevada. That recurring pattern suggests multi-year relationships rather than one-off support. Opportunity 180 is not a fund for individuals and does not make program-related investments; its active programs also show that unsolicited applications are accepted.
