The Michelson 20MM Foundation seeks to activate humanity’s full potential through equitable educational and economic opportunities. Co-chaired and funded by Alya and Gary Michelson, Michelson 20MM is part of the Michelson Philanthropies network of foundations.
We accelerate progress towards a more just world by investing in tech entrepreneurs, changemakers, and policy – to catalyze scalable innovations in the knowledge economy.
Through our Open Educational Resources (OER) Initiative we seek to advance affordable, equitable, culturally relevant, and high-quality learning experiences for postsecondary students by increasing the number of courses and faculty that use open educational resources
Cailyn, extending thanks to the Michelson 20MM Foundation for sponsoring the OEGlobal 2021 online conference. We appreciate your support for our work and the work of so many others in the open education space.
OEGlobal was particularly delighted to be an advocate and signatory supporter around efforts to secure California government funding for Zero Textbook Cost degrees for California Community College students. Absolutely fantastic that the initial effort to get $15 million eventually led to $115 million!
It is also great to see the recent Michelson 20MM Foundation Spark Grant awards that continue to work toward addressing college textbook affordability.
