Use of Funds - Financing Educational Content
One of the primary goals of the sitesALIVE Foundation is to provide financial assistance to budget-constrained schools to buy access to live Internet content designed for their K–12 curricular needs. Programs that are designed using exciting and relevant content have been shown to expand students’ understanding of and interest in a range of subjects including mathematics, social studies, geography, science, language arts, technology, the environment and music.
The Foundation strives to identify and provide innovative, well-designed educational programs, with a focus on those that offer field-based, experiential or expedition content, and that have academically accredited subject matter. We are seeking program options that offer teachers real-time, real-world content and access to expert resources not available through textbooks. Selected programs will connect classroom-based students, via the internet and other means, to student researchers, faculty members, scientists and other experts who are engaging in genuine research and scientific discovery. Our goal is to offer content addressing a broad range of topics in geographically diverse locations worldwide.
The Foundation is seeking funding from individuals, foundations, corporations and government agencies committed to supporting enhanced K–12 education and will disburse funds to qualified school systems who apply for assistance to purchase program content.
Schools may also apply for teacher training to help maximize these opportunities.
