Spotlight On...
The William and Flora
Hewlett Foundation

The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation is investing $4 million to help states and districts use one-time stimulus funds to create lasting value and impact on student achievement. With grants from Hewlett, organizations like Education Resource Strategies and the Council of Great City Schools are supporting urban school districts to make good resource allocation decisions, including the use of stimulus funds.

Hewlett's investments have two further objectives: (1) accelerating the Open Education Resource movement by increasing state and district adoption of open textbooks and courses, and (2) ensuring timely dissemination of information about the use and impact of stimulus funding for education across the states.
