Catalyzing innovation

We support improving outcomes for Black and Latino students and students experiencing poverty through long-term innovation, research, and development. Our investments in education research and development are focused on new ideas and practices with the potential to significantly improve the trajectory of student learning outcomes over the next 10 to 15 years. We are exploring innovative ways to facilitate and accelerate the integration and translation of evidence-informed teaching practices and research into scalable education practices, programs, and tools that support teachers and students.

EF + Math Program

EF+Math program. In 2018, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) and the Gates Foundation began jointly exploring whether breakthrough education solutions can be developed through an accelerated discovery and development effort. This work culminated in a total commitment of $50 million over five years, funded in equal parts by both philanthropies, to support the EF+Math program.
