K-8 reading and math solutions that build foundational skills and personalize learning to support student success Solutions that redesign educator roles, bridge school and community, and leverage AI to make teaching more sustainable, effective, and joyful Solutions that enhance teaching and learning for students with diagnosed and undiagnosed learning disabilities We invest in visionary, early-stage education leaders and entrepreneurs with bold ideas that expand the definition of what works.
Our focus is on creating new possibilities and a just future for all students, especially those furthest from opportunity. Ideas must align with at least one of our investment areas: Innovative Schools , Learning Solutions , Teaching Reimagined , or Learning Differences . We seek bold ideas that combine new approaches with proven practices to improve student learning and advance equitable outcomes for all.
We believe equipping students with a strong academic foundation, as well as essential habits, mindsets and skills within a positive learning environment, is key to this goal. (We call this an expanded definition of student success ).
We aim to have a catalytic impact on student success nationally, so we invest in ventures that seek to expand their impact significantly over time by growing their organizations, codifying and sharing best practices, or influencing the work of others. We expect innovators to engage their stakeholders – students, families, and educators – early and often to inform solution design and implementation.
By understanding the needs, interests and aspirations of those they aim to serve, innovators can not only design better solutions but also build the relationships necessary to grow their impact over time. We seek mission-driven innovators who demonstrate passion, integrity, and the ability to execute their vision. Innovators should build diverse and capable teams with the right mix of skills and backgrounds to drive impact.
Leaders should be open to collaboration, committed to building high-functioning teams, and be excited to participate in our communities of practice, which foster learning and growth. We support teams that are dedicated to breaking the predictability of who succeeds in this nation.
Research shows that teams are more effective in meeting the needs of students when they bring a range of experiences and have leaders and educators who share the backgrounds of the students they serve. We seek teams that are building organizations and solutions uniquely designed for students furthest from opportunity.
We look for organizations with long-term plans for achieving financial sustainability through a mix of revenue sources, such as philanthropy, earned revenue, and government grants. Our focus is on supporting ventures that can secure the revenue they need to grow their impact over time.

The National Leadership Grants for Libraries Program (NLG-L) supports projects that address critical needs of the library and archives fields and have the potential to advance practice and strengthen library and archival services for the American public. Successful proposals will generate results such as new models, tools, research findings, services, practices, and/or alliances that can be widely used, adapted, scaled, or replicated to extend and leverage the benefits of federal investment. Applications to IMLS should both advance knowledge and understanding and ensure that the federal investment made generates benefits to society. Specifically, the goals for this program are to generate projects of far-reaching impact that: • Build the workforce and institutional capacity for managing the national information infrastructure and serving the information and education needs of the public. • Build the capacity of libraries and archives to lead and contribute to efforts that improve community well-being and strengthen civic engagement. • Improve the ability of libraries and archives to provide broad access to and use of information and collections with emphasis on collaboration to avoid duplication and maximize reach. • Strengthen the ability of libraries to provide services to affected communities in the event of an emergency or disaster. • Strengthen the ability of libraries, archives, and museums to work collaboratively for the benefit of the communities they serve. Throughout its work, IMLS places importance on diversity, equity, and inclusion. This may be reflected in an IMLS-funded project in a wide range of ways, including efforts to serve individuals of diverse geographic, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds; individuals with disabilities; individuals with limited functional literacy or information skills; individuals having difficulty using a library or museum; and underserved urban and rural communities, including children from families with incomes below the poverty line.
