Details:
This grant program marks a new phase in work directly resourcing educators and students engaging with The 1619 Project.
The 1619 Education Impact Grant will allow focus support on collaborative and innovative projects that engage educators and students and lead to sustained impact beyond the individual classroom level.
Pulitzer Center invites educational professionals working with students and educators in K-12 learning environments to apply for Education Impact Grants to finance educational projects that utilize at least one resource from The 1619 Project to:
- Improve the awareness and critical thinking of students and/or educators about the legacies of slavery in the contemporary United States, and the contributions of Black Americans to every aspect of U.S. society
- Equip students and/or educators to take action and make change that advances racial justice
Pulitzer Center seeking projects that go beyond the individual classroom level to engage large groups of learners on the school, district, and/or community level. They encourage smaller districts and/or educators working in alternative learning environments to collaborate and apply as a multi-site or multi-organizational project. We hope that this grant program, like 1619 Education Network before it, will develop a national, multidisciplinary community of practice among educators.
