Through our EDge fund, we invest in solutions beyond any single investment area, with a focus on responding to emerging needs in the sector and quickly deploying resources to organizations working to address those needs. By investing in new areas, we can learn more about entrepreneurial activity, funder interest, management assistance needs and inform our future strategy. Our Diverse Leaders, Racial Equity, and Learning Differences investment areas started as EDge-funded initiatives. 

In 2023, we invested $2.4 million in innovations focused on emergent technologies that support teaching and learning, college and career readiness, educator and student mental health and reimagining the role of teachers.
