The Longview Foundation for World Affairs and International Understanding focuses on educating the youth of the United States about world regions and global issues. Since 1966, it has promoted initiatives that expand knowledge and understanding of international affairs among young Americans.
The "Internationalizing Teacher Preparation Program" aims to enhance teachers' global knowledge and skills. It supports teacher preparation institutions that contribute to broader systemic efforts or use online education for pre-service or professional development. The program prioritizes projects that demonstrate effective partnerships, integrate global dimensions into educator training, impact a significant number of candidates, and show potential for sustainable activities beyond grant funding. The foundation awards grants from $10,000 to $30,000, encouraging projects that collaborate with educational and arts/sciences colleges, align with state or local educational efforts, and have plans for widespread adoption of their strategies.
