Funding
Operation Impact is proud to offer a range of funding opportunities to encourage students to take action on their ideas to improve education. From ideation to scaling, we have multiple entry points throughout the year to help students put rubber to road and figure out how to gain scalable traction on important problems.
2019-2020 funding opportunities
Pilot 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.
Take-off teams
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.
