THIS GRANT’S FOCUS: Postsecondary/Higher Education Improvement/Innovation, Education/Learning Equity, Student Support
Deadline: Sept. 14, 2026
“The Innovative Postsecondary Models (IPM) Fund seeks proposals from organizations operating innovative postsecondary education models that are rethinking how education is designed, delivered, financed, and assessed for learners in the United States. Through this request for proposals, the IPM Fund will identify and fund high-potential education models that are reimagining how postsecondary education can remove barriers and increase access and improve outcomes for learners across the U.S. The Fund is interested in innovations that benefit all learners, but especially learners whom the data show encounter the greatest obstacles to opportunity. The goal of this Fund is not only to provide funding to innovative models, but also to learn from selected grantees on how to reduce barriers to postsecondary access and increase student success outcomes to help inform the role philanthropy can play in supporting higher education innovation.
To help illustrate the types of innovations we hope to support, we have organized this opportunity around four broad themes. These themes reflect key dimensions of postsecondary innovation that have the potential to improve learner outcomes and inform broader systems change. Four themes:
- Reimagining Instructional Design, Delivery, Assessment, and Student Support
- Advancing Affordability and Financial Sustainability
- Career and Workforce Alignment
- Removing Barriers for Underserved Learners.”
