Edimpacts is a nonprofit organization bringing together committed donors, innovative teachers, and growing learners. Our mission is to empower students in becoming uncommon learners, workers, citizens, creators, and leaders. Edimpacts connects donors to transformational education innovation and supports educators to confidently design and implement Deeper Learning methods that prepare students for the next learning challenges, for the 21st Century workforce — and for life.
Collaborating to design a robotic hand takes Deeper Learning and more skill than getting an A+ on a test.
What we do
Edimpacts supports and guides the transformation of teaching and learning through grants to qualifying schools, districts, and educators engaged in implementing Deeper Learning methodologies. They use our grants for education technology and professional learning solutions focused on personalization, competencies, personal success skills, and project-based learning.

The students’ work begins with a question, a problem, or a need to prove competency:
In the innovative educational models that our grantees implement, students work collaboratively and creatively on solving problems or answering questions, or simply discovering why something is the way it is. It may be in their own world, their community, or the world. Or, they may seek to build competencies that simply taking a test does not prove. They learn 21st-Century skills while demonstrating their competencies, and fulfilling social and emotional needs.
