Overview

This Knowledge Economy for All initiative seeks to empower learners, educators, and communities by funding the creation and distribution of open educational resources, tools, and infrastructure that enable a thriving knowledge economy accessible to all. By supporting open textbooks, modular courses, and collaborative platforms, this effort reduces barriers to learning and fosters inclusive participation in the knowledge economy.

The goal is clear: expand access to high-quality education and learning materials that can be freely reused, remixed, and translated. With open licenses, community-driven content, and sustainable tooling, we can build an ecosystem where great ideas circulate, improve, and reach people who need them most.
