The EDU AI grant funds development of an open-source AI model for K-12 tutoring, addressing limitations in current AI tutors that give answers too quickly, miss signs of student motivation, and fail to support productive problem-solving. The funded team will produce model weights, training code, datasets, evaluation tools, and documentation released under permissive licenses (Creative Commons Attribution 4. 0 and Apache 2.
0). The work focuses initially on mathematics tutoring with potential expansion to other subjects.
Lead organizations must have at least one peer-reviewed publication before May 8, 2026, a demonstrated record of contributing digital public goods, prior experience with LLMs in U.S. education contexts, meaningful prior deployment using real student data (proof-of-concept work insufficient), and at least one major tutoring EdTech provider identified or conditionally committed.
Strong fit for academic-industry consortia combining ML/AI engineering with deep K-12 classroom expertise and learning science.

MacKenzie Scott's Yield Giving has moved more than $26 billion — including roughly $7 billion in 2025, over a third of all U.S. megagifts — through unrestricted, trust-based grants with no application. Melinda French Gates's Pivotal Ventures has committed $2 billion to women's health and economic power. The Bezos philanthropies have moved billions more. As the Buffett–Gates era winds down, this new class of megadonor is rewriting the rules of major giving. Here is what changes for nonprofits, and how to become the kind of organization this money finds.
Read articleThe May 29 OMB rewrite of 2 CFR Part 200 quietly rebuilds the pass-through entity compliance architecture. Proposed §200.332 strengthens subrecipient risk assessment, monitoring documentation, and remediation triggers. A new requirement mandates that every subaward be reported to SAM.gov with the reported records confirmed in performance reports — converting subaward administration from a back-office accounting function into a public-record certification regime. For the universities, state agencies, and national nonprofits that pass through more than half of their federal awards as subawards, the operational implication is a new compliance operating model that needs to be standing up by the October 1 effective date.
Read articleOn June 29, 2026, EPA announced it will waive the $25,000 WIFIA application fee and the credit processing fee — averaging roughly $156,000 per loan — for communities of 25,000 or fewer residents in fiscal years 2026 and 2027. Combined, that removes nearly $200,000 in upfront cost from the single most affordable federal water-infrastructure financing program, which carries roughly $11 billion in available capacity and can cover up to 80% of eligible project costs at Treasury-rate pricing. For small towns, rural utilities, and the nonprofits and districts that serve them, this is a rare instance of the federal government lowering the barrier to a program that has historically been out of reach for exactly the communities that need it most. Here is what changed, who qualifies, and how to move on a letter of interest before the window closes.
