Gates Money and Common Core– Part VI
This post is the sixth (and final) post in a series I have written detailing Bill Gates’ mammoth purchasing of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). (Hereare links to the previous five posts in the series.)
In the fifth post, I mentioned that this final post would be Gates’ CCSS funding of education businesses. Then, I realized I needed to account for the nonprofits not yet discussed. So, they, too, are represented here.
In this series, I wanted to present complete information from the Gates grants website. Therefore, the organizations listed in this final post of the series include all recipients of Gates CCSS funding not included in previous posts.
In short, the organizations included in Parts One thru Six are a comprehensive listing of the $173.5 million in Gates funding designated for CCSS as of October 4, 2013.
All organizations receiving Gates CCSS funding can be found here, with the exception of one grant to the Fordham Foundation, which can be found here.
The list copied below can be found in Word document form here: Gates Money for CCSS to Businesses and Nonprofits.
Gates CCSS Funding to Businesses and (As of Yet Unexamined) Nonprofits
