For general support and project support of the continued implementation and expansion of the "Life After High School" project, seeking to deliver trusted, accurate local news to more Americans
Date
Sep. 12, 2024
Duration
24 months
Description
Open Campus, a nonprofit news organization founded in 2019 by two former editors at the Chronicle of Higher Education, aims to improve the information Americans receive about college at national and local levels. Colleges play crucial roles in social mobility, but limited coverage of their performance creates a disconnect with employers and citizens. Many Americans lack key information about postsecondary options. Although some resources, like FAFSA guides, are available, few local, independent tools exist to help students begin their postsecondary journey. Trusted, independent local news outlets can disseminate this much-needed information to the public. Currently partnering with fourteen newsrooms nationwide, Open Campus aims to expand to all fifty states. Support from the Corporation will fund two strands of work: expanding higher education and college readiness coverage in local newsrooms and advancing the Life After High School project.

Project Title
For support of the renewing democratic participation project of Columbia World Projects
Date
Sep. 12, 2024
Duration
36 months
Description
No successful democracy can thrive without a vibrant, legitimate, and effective party system. Successful political parties usually attract support from broad coalitions, which helps parties in office govern effectively by addressing both fundamental long-term challenges and more immediate issues voters view as urgent priorities. Increasingly, parties can be seen by the public to have fallen short, negatively impacting civic participation and civic culture. There is a critical need for interdisciplinary scholarship to examine particular features of the party system and to offer concrete ideas for overcoming this failure of contemporary politics. Founded in 2017, Columbia World Projects will convene an interdisciplinary network of political scientists, historians, legal scholars, political sociologists, and practitioners—both at Columbia University and from other leading universities in the United States—to examine particular features of the party system and other deficits of the U.S. electoral infrastructure, and to offer solutions.

Project Title
For one-time funding for a project to assess the economic and social costs of a limited nuclear war
Date
Dec. 12, 2024
Duration
24 months
Description
Analysis of the effects of nuclear war tends to focus on a large-scale nuclear exchange and on the immediate casualties and impact on climate. The implications of more limited nuclear use and its economic and societal consequences are less analyzed or understood. With this grant, the University of Maryland will help fill this gap by providing a comprehensive study of the costs of nuclear war with a focus on the more limited nuclear exchanges that represent the most likely scenario for the use of nuclear weapons today. The project will also go beyond immediate physical effects to analyze the longer term economic and societal consequences of limited nuclear use.

For support of the Big Picture Learning network of schools
Date
Dec. 12, 2024
Duration
36 months
Description
Today’s students require schools that prepare them to succeed in college, achieve economic mobility, and participate actively in our democracy but access to this kind of education remains inconsistent. Research suggests that providing students with work-based learning (WBL) opportunities helps them connect classroom learning to the real world and builds the technical and interpersonal skills needed to succeed in the workplace. For three decades, Big Picture Learning (BPL) has operated a network of schools that integrate rigorous WBL opportunities into the school experience helping students from low-income backgrounds achieve social and economic mobility. BPL operates 166 schools in thirty states to make real-world learning a core component of students’ learning experience. Early findings from a longitudinal study show that 74 percent of graduates going directly into the workforce secured jobs through their BPL internships. Further, 82 percent of BPL students graduate, many of whom did not experience success in more traditional school settings. Prior Corporation support enabled BPL to increase access to WBL in New York. Renewed support will enable BPL to add 1,500 student seats, strengthen WBL implementation in at least eight schools in Western NY, and influence policy conditions to support the expansion of WBL.

In designing policy solutions, the team conducts broad consultations with a range of officials, the private sector, scholars, and civil society. Seven million people have accessed its policy briefs, workshops, videos, podcasts and public events on issues including future modalities of work, climate and urban planning, and education.
