Opportunities in the Midst of COVID-19: Innovative Ways States are Using this Moment to Rethink Education

Through support from the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation and Walton Family Foundation, Education First supported ten states in developing their K-12 Rethink Grant application over a six-week span between mid-May and July 2020. States participated in a workshop with field experts to generate ideas, worked with a dedicated coach to outline and draft their application, and had access to technical reviews and other grant writing support.

We feel honored to have been a part of the process for these nine states and we look forward to seeing what states will do next.
