The National Geographic Society recognizes that educators are pioneering new ways of teaching so that students can continue learning. The Society has launched an emergency fund for innovative educators who are designing instructional resources — whether in the classroom, teaching remotely, or a combination of the two. Applicants may use up to 100 percent of their budget as compensation for the time they devote to the proposed project, as well as the time of any co-creators. Details are available at this link.
