2025 Moonshot Grants
Remake Learning Moonshot Grants invite applicants to envision a preferred future of learning and imagine what small steps they could take today toward that giant leap in the future.
In 2025, the Moonshot Grant opportunity will focus on igniting region-wide transformations inspired by the priorities of Remake Learning’s Working Groups.
Applicants do not need to be members of a Remake Learning Working Group to apply.
Grants of up to $50,000 are available. The application process will ask you to propose how you would test your idea at different funding amounts.
How to Apply
Applicants will complete a Letter of Intent (LOI) template that includes prompts to select a priority area inspired by Remake Learning’s idea, outline their preferred future of learning, and explain how they propose to use the grant funding.
Following a review of all LOIs received, Remake Learning will invite selected applicants to submit full proposals.
Funding decisions will be made following a review of all eligible proposals received by the deadline.
