Overview
The Foundation for Learning Equality develops software tools for the sharing and creation of openly licensed educational content. By utilizing a combination of low-cost, low-power equipment and OER, the team aims to increase access to educational content for communities that have limited-bandwidth, expensive, or unreliable Internet connections. As Learning Equality has evolved and grown into an established eight-year-old nonprofit, this organizational effectiveness grant will support two areas of internal capacity building: board planning and change management processes, and leadership coaching for the Executive Director.

Learning Equality designs for both community-driven and systemic adoption of free and open edtech tools, supported by open content, guidance materials, and spaces for sharing knowledge.

for general operating support
The Foundation for Learning Equality (FLE) is dedicated to developing software tools for the sharing and creation of openly-licensed educational content for use by anyone around the world. By utilizing a combination of low-cost, low-power equipment and Khan Academy videos, FLE aims to increase access to OER for communities that have limited-bandwidth, expensive, or unreliable Internet connections. This general operating support grant would help to strengthen the core of the organization and enable FLE to achieve its longer-term goals of building tools that allow teachers to adapt and author their own content which will promote greater linguistic and cultural diversity of OER content.
