The Imagine Signature Grant Program (ISGP)

Overview

At the Imagine Learning Foundation (ILF), our mission is to foster the well-being of learners and the people who support them at home and in their communities. Imagine Learning, our primary sponsor, ignites learning breakthroughs with innovative and accessible digital-first K-12 products and services. Imagine Learning looks to empower student and educator potential.  The Imagine Learning Foundation embraces and extends this mission by focusing on the powerful connection between the well-being of students and the people who support them outside of the classroom to bolster academic success.

Purpose
The Imagine Signature Grant Program (ISGP) seeks to amplify national or regional non-profit organizations’ efforts which align to the mission of ILF and meet one or more of the funding priority areas of focus identified by ILF. 2025 Funding Priority Areas of Focus Chronic absenteeism has severe consequences for learning, emotional well-being, stability, and future outcomes through a student’s life, particularly for children experiencing homelessness. Two-thirds of K12 students attended a school where at least 20% of the student body was chronically absent, creating a crisis for these students, especially in math and reading. Additionally, over 1.2 million students are currently experiencing homelessness, putting them at greater academic and graduation risks.  

2025 Funding Priorities
Support eligible organizations addressing and/or studying critical issues related to chronic absenteeism and student housing insecurity in K-12 learning environments. In 2025, the ISGP grants will continue to prioritize the areas that ISGP funded in 2024, such as basic needs support and wraparound services for students and families experiencing homelessness, and also other needs in line with our mission and addressing chronic absenteeism and housing insecurity's impact on K-12 learning.  

Additionally, in response to the recent wildfires and rebuilding efforts in the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area and San Diego County, ISGP will allocate a portion of its 2025 grants to initiatives that are both aligned with its mission and focus on recovery and support in affected communities.

Funding Priority will be given to applicants that have national or regional impact serving more than 300+ youth, students, or community members and align with the ISGP’s 2025 Funding Priorities. Priority will be given to organizations and programs focused on high-need communities
