Lumina Foundation Grant

Lumina Foundation's grant program supports large-scale systemic change towards achieving a more inclusive, equitable society where a higher percentage of the adult population holds college degrees, certificates, or other valuable credentials by 2025. The foundation focuses on:

• Providing access to credential programs for adults, especially those from underrepresented communities.
• Offering strong academic, financial, and social support to ensure success in acquiring credentials that lead to better job opportunities and economic mobility.
• Advocating for policies and pathways that address racial disparities in education outcomes and support institutions serving today's diverse student body.
• Aligning education and training with societal and economic needs to ensure fair representation and social mobility across all demographics. Lumina encourages innovative strategies and partnerships to drive change in education systems, prioritizing racial equity and focusing efforts on community, technical colleges, minority-serving institutions, and state education systems.
