Education Fund

Good Deed Education Fund is a philanthropy fund founded by the new generation of Estonian entrepreneurs. Education Fund will support initiatives that solve acute problems in the education sector. The main issues the Education Fund addresses are:

● The lack of appeal of the profession of teaching as the average age of teachers is constantly increasing. 

● The slow adoption of innovative teaching and learning practices.

● The youth drop-out rate after the mandatory level (9 years); not graduating from the next education level. 

● The low levels of STEAM skills acquired from school. 


We are looking for initiatives that solve these problems in a measurable way. Through the initiatives we will be looking for ways to increase the quality of education together with leaders from different sectors - public, private, third sector. 

FUND SIZE 1 000 000 €
10 - 15 INITIATIVES
DURATION 3 YEARS

Initiatives

The Education Fund is looking for initiatives that will disrupt the educational system in a positive way and help to take it to a new level. We are looking for teams who contribute to solving our target issues in the Estonian education system through ideas that:


● are innovative and have not been tested widely;

● are scalable;

● measure their results and/or impact;
● have a strong team;

● have a plan for sustainable financing model;


Good Deed Foundation runs the Education Fund and consults initiatives interested in applying to the Fund. Successful candidates will go through several steps. To find out more please write to pirkko@heategu.ee
