The Noyce Foundation is completely dedicated to improving instruction in math, science, and early literacy in U.S. public schools. The Foundation funds and develops organizations that support the improvement of teaching in these core areas as well as research and policy initiatives to inform and support policymakers at all levels to use resources wisely to build strong teacher corps.
The Foundation’s work is geographically focused where Noyce family members live -- primarily in the Silicon Valley and Massachusetts.
All work is designed around the following principles:
- Great accomplishments are realized when optimism guides and inspires bold learning.
- Creativity and risk taking are the bedrock of innovation and essential to forging a healthy democracy.
- Determination to reach high levels of achievement is fundamental to attaining excellence.
- Social innovation requires commitment to stay the course.
- Flexibility and speed allow us to respond to new opportunities and changing situations.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE FOUNDATION DOES NOT ACCEPT UNSOLICITED GRANT PROPOSALS.
