Moonshot Grants

Bold ideas for the future of learning, powered by Remake Learning.

Inspired by the original moonshot effort to carry humans to the Moon, Moonshot Grants ask educators to dream big, take risks, and team up with unlikely partners to make the impossible possible.

Since 2021, Remake Learning has awarded Moonshot Grants to 130 projects, totaling more than $5.75 million invested in bold ideas that have the potential to shape the future of teaching and learning.

2026 National Moonshot Grants

The deadline to apply for a National Moonshot Grant was March 31, 2026.

Thank you to everyone who shared their idea! We’ll be announcing awards in July 2026.

Stay tuned for updates and future opportunities.
