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 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.
Our Investments
The IDEA Fund collaborates with organizations and commits significant financial resources to launch initiatives that support faculty activities and enhance learning. Through these investments, we aim to empower faculty members and improve the overall student learning experience.
