Educators represent our ability to disseminate truth and shape next generation leaders. The Institute for Common Power is committed to supporting educators across the country and globe through conversations, learning tours, grants, lectures, trainings, and more.
Why Are Teachers Applying for This Grant?
Institute Educator Ambassadors are educators who have participated in the Institute’s Truth and Purpose Learning Tour through Georgia and Alabama. Upon completion of the experience, educators have access to additional Institute engagement and resources; they are eligible, for example, to apply for a $1,000 Education to Action grant to implement a school or community-based program that will move education to action.
Educators are the representatives of our eternal dissemination of truth.

Education to Action Project Funds
“I am applying for the $1000 grant to enable me to implement a program that will turn education into action. This program aims to help students understand various aspects of modern civil rights movements and to explore the long history of African Americans and it relates to our modern world. The Education to Action grant will then allow me to implement this program of learning and also to include the creation of an artwork that will symbolize African American history and how it impacts our world today.”
— Marly Joseph Desir“I am applying for the Education to Action Grant because of my firsthand experience with the power of place-based learning. Students will [be able to] learn through example. The grant funding would be a catalyst to launch the community oral history project, [where] a group of students and staff [go] on The Black Journey tour in Philadelphia… it would be incredibly powerful for our students to tell the stories of their communities in their communities.”
— Rachel E. Nichols“This grant will provide an opportunity for students to travel with EF Tours, their teachers, and classmates to historical Civil Rights monuments in Georgia and Alabama. Providing an opportunity for students to travel to the sites and places key to the turning point of the Civil Rights Movement — prior to taking [AP African American Studies] — will allow them a level of access not provided to students in Spokane.”
— Kendra Egly“I am applying for a grant to fund a program to deepen the knowledge of people from low-income communities. People who lack knowledge tend make bad decisions and… due to the lack of knowledge they are more susceptible to low quality information or the wrong information. If we can provide them with the history of human development from the start of human history we can show them how society truly operates. This will give them the tools to navigate life.”
