Flagship Program
State Implementation Fund
The State Implementation Fund (SIF) helps governors and education chiefs translate well-designed policy into measurable progress for students. Through SIF, Accelerate pairs multi-year grants with expert technical assistance, working alongside committed education leaders to ensure that decisions made in state capitals take root in real classrooms. To date, we have partnered with eight states, supporting successful implementation of literacy, math, tutoring, and postsecondary pathways policies that have benefited nearly 3 million students.
