We aim to understand and shape the impact of technology on society. We deploy an inquiry-based model of philanthropy, funding initiatives, research, and communities tackling society’s most urgent challenges at the intersections of learning, work, and infrastructure. Technological change has radically altered the way we live, work, and learn.
The transformation of the global economy has impacted society on every level—from schools to the workplace to our communities—and altered the terms on which people are able to access opportunities and thrive in daily life. In order to address the biggest challenges we face today, we aim to support technology that serves the public interest, and ensure all people can engage with and affect change in a rapidly evolving world.
Founded in 2011 by David Siegel, co-founder and co-chairman of the financial sciences company Two Sigma, we believe that philanthropy is society’s risk capital–it can help drive innovation by investing in local leaders and community-born solutions, fostering prosperous and equitable futures for all.
Our work is centered around funding organizations that address society’s most critical challenges, while supporting innovative civic and community leaders, social entrepreneurs, researchers, and more that are driving this work forward.
To understand and shape the impact of technology on society A world in which all people have the tools, skills, and context necessary to engage meaningfully in a rapidly changing society We make grants across three primary interest areas. Learn more about each one, and the grantees we work with, below.
Our Current Question : How might we build and scale learner-centered ecosystems across schools and communities, which include future-ready competencies and the responsible development and use of digital technologies?
Our Hypothesis: We believe education systems will become more learner-centered, equitable, and future-ready when investments strengthen the connective tissue between research, policy, and practice; advance computing education; and support the responsible design, adoption, and governance of educational technology, which produces shared evidence, durable skills, and scalable models that improve outcomes for all learners.
Our Current Question : How might we ensure that workers shape how AI and emerging technologies transform work in ways that strengthen job quality, improve worker experience, and increase equitable opportunity?
Our Hypothesis: We believe AI and emerging technologies can reduce harms, improve worker experience, and strengthen job quality when investments support worker informed research and pilots that reduce information asymmetries, center worker voice in design and deployment, and generate actionable evidence that can influence employers, investors, policymakers, and the broader workforce field.
Our Current Question : How can community-driven design, governance, and stewardship models across digital, social, and physical infrastructure reorient these systems toward equitable participation, trustworthy technology, and resilient civic knowledge for a future-ready society?
Our Hypothesis: We believe that community power and trust are strengthened when investments support community informed research, co-design, and governance models that enable communities to meaningfully shape how digital, social, and physical infrastructure is financed, governed, and stewarded over time, resulting in more resilient, accountable, and trustworthy systems.

Inquiry-Driven Grantmaking A Grounding in the Scientific Method We know that philanthropy doesn’t hold all the answers to addressing tough societal challenges. However, we believe that philanthropy is uniquely positioned to ask big questions of our society, and to bring together the right stakeholders to answer those questions.
Our inquiry-driven approach to grantmaking is an iterative process of asking questions, systematically interrogating them, and applying our learnings to subsequent rounds of questioning. Our approach is grounded in the scientific method, and is inspired by our chairman and founder David Siegel’s approach to his life’s work.
We ask questions that help us develop an informed hypothesis, support academic and field-work that uncovers evidence, track and interpret outcomes thoughtfully, and apply our findings in order to inform the next phase of inquiry. This approach moves beyond the traditional grant check-in. We are deliberate about how we gather and interpret information, ensuring that learnings accumulate over time and across grants and portfolios.
We call this work Knowledge and Impact . We deeply engage with our partners to surface insights that advance both Siegel’s inquiry and their own—and to translate those learnings into knowledge that can inform the broader field. We support a wide range of grantees who are engaged with advancing our understanding of the driving questions that underpin our research.
We also support a diverse range of grantee work, from academic research projects, to mission-driven programs, to institutions informing policy and governance across a range of sectors. Introducing: Better Questions, Better Insights This whitepaper is a codification of a decade of learning.

Professional development for instructors to ensure adoption of new and effective pedagogical techniques is a potential topic of interest.
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. Application Process: The application process for the NLG-L program has two phases; applicants must begin by applying for Phase I.
