Chan Zuckerberg Initiative Grants (Education & Learning focus)

Chan Zuckerberg Initiative Grants (Education & Learning focus) is sponsored by Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. CZI supports artificial intelligence (AI) education initiatives to empower educators as co-creators of future technologies, aiming to integrate learning science into tools used by teachers and students to strengthen teaching and learning.

Education - Chan Zuckerberg Initiative Because Every Learner Matters Learning Commons builds on over a decade of CZI’s extensive investment and progress, with a renewed focus on scaling what works in education. Through shared, open infrastructure built for the public good, Learning Commons aims to expand access to effective teaching and learning practices — so that every learner has the opportunity to thrive.

That is why we’re bringing together educators, researchers, and developers to build open, research-driven technology that reflects the realities of classrooms and strengthens teaching and learning.

By combining technical expertise with real classroom insights, we’re supporting resources that are rigorous, connected, and designed to accelerate progress across the field. Over the past decade, we’ve made grants to advance research on learning and human development.

We’ve also built products and tech platforms for and with teachers — grounded in research that guides how kids learn best — to translate those insights into classroom practice.

Through our unique approach, which combines grantmaking with technology building and, most recently, building AI infrastructure, we are helping accelerate the development of edtech products for the public good that are more accurate, aligned with state academic standards, and backed by learning science. “ We know so much about teaching and learning. It’s time to build better tools to go deeper with that knowledge.
