Grant recipients have been awarded either $150,000 Innovation Grants or $250,000 Promise Grants. WASHINGTON, May 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- National education nonprofit Accelerate today announced it will award $6 million in grants to 32 organizations working to make high-impact tutoring a sustainable and cost-effective feature of the American school day. The grants come from Accelerate's Call to Effective Action program, which supports innovation, research, and implementation in the tutoring field in order to help expand access to high-impact tutoring and raise student achievement. Grantees are working in 20 states across the country. "The evidence behind tutoring as an intervention is strong and the field is making tremendous progress, but we still need more providers with a proven track record that can also scale," said Accelerate CEO Kevin Huffman. "Before the federal pandemic relief dollars dry up, we have an opportunity – and a responsibility – to identify these providers and ensure they are able to deliver cost-effective programs and present evidence that they get results for kids."

EdTech startup Tutored by Teachers (TbT) announced today it has raised over $10 million in Series A funding, led by GSV Ventures, to expand its teacher community and increase capacity to serve more than 10,000 K -12 students this year.
