Driving innovation in teaching
and learning.

Supporting education and innovation through grants and strategic investments.

The IDEA Fund, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, is dedicated to fostering education and innovation through a multifaceted approach that includes promoting research, providing grants, and making strategic investments.

Our commitment to supporting education extends beyond traditional methods, as we actively seek out innovative projects and initiatives that have the potential to drive positive change in the educational landscape.

Research and Resources

Since its beginning as The IDEA Center in 1975, IDEA has endeavored to bring forth research in the areas of teaching and learning, faculty evaluation and development, student ratings of instruction, and leadership development in higher education to the field.

While no longer publishing new content, the research and resources, including the IDEA Paper series, remain one of IDEA’s most recognizable resources.
