Overview
This grant will employ journalism to increase public understanding of and commitment to women’s economic empowerment, presenting research and data to thought leaders and broad audiences to drive policy and cultural change by bringing to life the stories behind the data. The New America Foundation will create a survey for international policymakers and economists to learn which news sources inform their policymaking, and will make use of data and research from grantees to produce a series of articles highlighting the economic value of women’s unpaid work. Through compelling storytelling the New America Foundation aims to deepen understanding of the gendered dynamics of global economic policies.

for bridging open education and equity in pre-K-12 learning and teaching
New America is a nonpartisan think tank dedicated to renewing, reimagining, and realizing the promise of America in an era of rapid technological and social change. New America’s Education Policy program builds on existing efforts to elevate the importance of equity and inclusion and the role of high-quality open educational resources and practices in ensuring academic excellence and well-being for all students. This will be accomplished through research and policy analysis, case making, community building, and the development of open tools and prototypes that can be piloted in districts and communities.
