Funding

Pilot Funds are for early stage ideas in education innovation. Teams can apply for one round - or all four rounds of funding. They can apply for the same idea each round, or they can pivot each round to try out a new idea.

Teams who are working hard and are gaining momentum will be identified by the end of the fall term to join our Take-off Teams Cohort. Take-off teams will have access to more resources, support, and connections to help them get further faster. 

Operation Impact is proud to provide the funding to support the Harvard Graduate School of Education Innovations and Ventures in Education (HIVE) annual pitch competition. This student-organized event is open to all students from Harvard and MIT. 

At our Annual Education Innovation Showcase event, a first and a second prize will be given out to teams who are ready to launch out of Harvard and MIT to have impact. These teams will receive funding as well as a package of resources to help them grow and scale.
