Creator: PaperOrbit
License: https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/exempt-organization-public-disclosure-and-availability-requirements

median grant

Based on grants this organization reported to the IRS for tax years 2022–2024. This is what they filed, not a complete record of their giving, and recent years may be incomplete because filings lag.

Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

K-12 education policy, charter schools, and curriculum reform nationally
Northwest Arkansas civic life: parks, trails, arts, transit in Bentonville
Education R&D: literacy, math acceleration, tutoring, learner records
Colorado River and Mississippi River Basin water and agriculture
Career pathways, apprenticeships, and community college redesign
Ocean and fisheries sustainability, including international tuna work

Typical grant

Median grant is $200,000, with the middle half between $75,000 and about $432,000. The eight-figure checks go to intermediaries and re-granting vehicles (Charter Fund, 50CAN's State Implementation Fund, New Venture Fund, NewSchools) plus Bentonville capital projects; the small ones are single-site programs and Arkansas nonprofits. Repeat giving is the norm, with organizations like Cambiar Education, Environmental Defense Fund, and TNTP each holding several concurrent grants.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

“"improve student outcomes"”
“"high-quality instructional materials"”
“"high-impact tutoring"”
“"learning loss"”
“"To support general operations"”

Positioning adjacent work

Tie research to a named state implementation partner; they fund studies of policy rollout, not standalone inquiry.
Ask $1M to $3M for multi-year research; Harvard CEPR and ASU CRPE landed in that band.
Name Arkansas as a study site or first state. LEARNS Act implementation work is actively funded.
For water or agriculture work, anchor to the Colorado River Basin or Mississippi River Basin explicitly.

Worth knowing: Arkansas takes 888 of 3,288 grants and Bentonville itself absorbs large capital gifts, so a non-Arkansas applicant is competing in the national education portfolio, where a few intermediaries and fiscal sponsors (New Venture Fund, Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, Cambiar, NewSchools) recycle much of the money to subgrantees. Getting funded through one of those vehicles is often more realistic than a direct grant.
