ABOUT THE GRANT

The greater Pittsburgh region has become a national hub for innovative learning. Among the most notable features of the regional learning ecosystem are the many transformations of classrooms, libraries, and other learning spaces. However, there is still much work to be done to share and spread what’s working, while supporting organizational capacity across the field and establishing a regional growth model for innovation in space design.

Blueprint for Learning will provide 16 grants of up to $50,000 to help schools and organizations reimagine, redesign, and remake their learning spaces to support modern learners.
