Get Help Bringing Grants to Your State and District, With No or Minimal Extra Costs
Bring our record of success to your district or state!
Public Impact has won all of our past grant proposals written for federal TSL/TIF applicants, and we can help you with three current and upcoming federal grants.
Our unique within-budget approach reduces or eliminates the need for states to find extra matching funds.
Incorporating Opportunity Culture® design—which better matches grant criteria than other approaches—in your applications improves your chances of success, with its 12+ years of nation-leading results for students and teachers. Learn how below.
We are currently offering free grant writing for a limited number of states. If you want to win and achieve huge results—in student learning and educator satisfaction—contact us. |

The Teacher and School Leader Incentive Program (TSL) can support states in bringing the proven results of Opportunity Culture staffing models to their students and educators.
Announced on April 8, 2026, applications are due June 9. Opportunity Culture models fit the grant criteria better than any other U.S. program, and their design means your state may not need to allocate any matching funds—a unique advantage with our proven results, which show learning boosts of nearly an extra half-year annually in reading and math. |

The Supporting Educator Effectiveness and Development Program (SEED) focuses on educator development.
Under this grant, Public Impact can provide LEAs and schools with technical assistance to create teams led by excellent teachers that provide research-proven, high-growth, sustainable pre- and in-service development on the job. Announced April 16, applications are due June 1. |

The Teacher Quality Partnership Program (TQP) focuses on educator pipelines.
Under this grant, Public Impact can provide LEAs and schools with technical assistance to create teams led by excellent teachers that provide high-growth, sustainable pre-service development on the job for teacher residents/apprentices, continuing into the early-career years. We are experienced in design, and our learning results are significantly higher than similar programs. As of now, the 2026 TQP application has not been released. |

12+ Years of Opportunity Culture® Results |
|
|
|
Students taught by Opportunity Culture teaching teams gain nearly an extra half-year of learning growth per year in reading and math, third-party research shows—a substantially higher result than other similar recent programs. |
|
|
Extra pay for teacher-leaders averages 20% of typical pay, with others earning 1–15% more |
|
|
|
Already serving 275,000+ students per year, 100+ school systems |
|
|
In the most recent study, students not in treatment classrooms in the same schools also added nearly an extra month of learning, an effect called “spillover.” |
|
|
|
97–99% of teacher-leaders—and more than 90% of all staff—want Opportunity Culture staffing design to continue in their schools—not lookalikes. |
|
|
Not just design: Instructional guidance, including emphasis on small-group teaching and tutoring, with differentiation for advanced students and prerequisite skills allowing struggling students to learn on-standard; and AI tools and guidance. |
|
|
|
Title I schools meeting Opportunity Culture (OC®) design standards were more than twice as likely to make schoolwide high growth as Title I schools without OC design—and three times as likely when reaching all students with OC teaching teams. |
|
|
Teacher satisfaction is up to twice the national rate |

Some of the Ways Opportunity Culture Design
Meets Grant Requirements |
|
|
|
Teacher and School Leader Incentive Program (TSL) |
|
Requires matching funds, evidence-based designs, performance-based compensation system or human capital management system, and focus on high-need schools.
Extra points this year for a focus on “strategic staffing.” |
|
|
Most states using Opportunity Culture models will not have to spend additional funds to meet the matching requirements, a significant benefit over all other approaches.
OC strategic staffing models are evidence-based, proven in high-need schools, create a performance-based compensation system, and infuse all aspects of human capital management, including apprenticeships on teaching teams, recruitment, hiring, retention, compensation, job-embedded PD, and promotion into advanced roles. |
|
|
|
|
|
Supporting Educator Effectiveness and Development (SEED) |
|
Requires matching funds, evidence-based preparation, and professional development for teachers and principals, with a focus on literacy and/or math.
Extra points for prioritizing apprenticeships and professional development on how to integrate AI. |
|
|
Most states using Opportunity Culture models will not have to spend additional funds to meet the matching requirements, a significant benefit over all other approaches.
With OC designs, schools and districts create enduring structures to provide intensive, on-the-job professional learning for teachers and principals that will live beyond the SEED grant. OC designs are also an ideal setting for apprenticeships, with salaries and benefits already built in and on-the-job training from excellent teachers. |
|
|
|
|
|
Teacher Quality Partnership (TQP) |
|
2026 requirements not set, but TQP requires matching funds, teacher preparation reforms (including residencies), new teacher support efforts, and leadership development for rural LEAs. Current administration likely to add apprenticeship focus. |
|
|
Most states using Opportunity Culture models will not have to spend additional funds to meet the matching requirements, a significant benefit over all other approaches.
For how OC designs can support TQP efforts, see SEED row above. |
