The 2023 Call to Effective Action grant opportunity is now open! Applications due March 10, 2023.
An unprecedented time in public education
Accelerate helps education leaders across the country build tools and strategies to address the pressing challenges of the current moment.
Accelerate launched in the context of the national achievement gaps that have worsened significantly over the last two years.
We believe the country has a moral obligation to address these gaps.
Tools and models exist — and more can be developed — to provide all students with individualized instruction that can change the trajectory of their lives.
SubscribeAccelerate actively builds the country’s knowledge of tools and practices that significantly advance student learning.
We do this by bridging the gaps between research, communities, and systems to ensure the rapid and widespread adoption of proven strategies.

Call to Effective Action
In April of 2022, Accelerate launched a Call to Effective Action. Over 200 organizations across the country submitted proposals.
We are proud to provide 31 organizations with financial support, and to welcome over 100 to our community of practice.
Our GranteesWe have invested over $10M in innovative efforts to improve student outcomes by meeting students where they are.
Our grantees are developing programs to individualize instruction, pairing students with tutors in-person and virtually, and tackling the real challenges of implementation at scale.
This year, our grantees will serve over 250,000 students across the country, from California to South Dakota to Rhode Island.
“Accelerate is a rallying cry to schools, districts, states, and others.
We must seize this moment to use federal relief funds to help students, including those most impacted by the pandemic, to close gaps in opportunity and achievement that grew even wider over the last two years.”
