About Us
Who We Are
Project Tomorrow is a nonprofit that empowers K–12 education through research and innovation. We deliver actionable insights via efficacy studies, the Speak Up Research Project, and hands-on learning programs like our Computational Thinking initiatives, helping schools prepare students for future success.
Project Tomorrow is a national education nonprofit organization, certified by the IRS and the State of California as a 501.c.3 nonprofit organization, with a 25-year history of impacting education.
Our Vision
To ensure that today’s students are well-prepared to be tomorrow’s innovators, leaders, and engaged citizens of the world. We believe that authentic learning experiences enable all students to develop skills and mindset for future success.
Our Mission
Project Tomorrow provides K-12 education leaders, teachers, and parents with research-based insights to improve student learning. We collect and share data and classroom practices on what students, teachers, and families need so schools can make better decisions about teaching, learning, and future readiness.
25 Years of Visionary Leadership
For over 25 years, ProjectTomorrow, originally known as NetDay, has championed collaboration and innovation in education, driven by a determined pursuit of”win-win-win” outcomes for our partners and stakeholders. Under the visionary leadership of Dr. Julie A. Evans, its mission has always been clear:to deeply understand the evolving needs of K-12 education and leverage its vast network of resources to develop impactful solutions that directly address the challenges faced by students, teachers, administrators and families.
As the educational landscape has changed so too has our approach. From creating toolkits to connect classrooms to the internet in 1999 to helping educators appreciate the potential benefits of AI in education in 2024, Project Tomorrow will continue to keep its finger on the pulse of education and provide highly responsive and timely programs and projects.
Strategic Leadership
Project Tomorrow is governed by a dedicated national Board of Directors representing business, education, youth development, scientific, public policy, and media sectors.
Funding the Mission
Project Tomorrow is funded by a combination of foundation grants, federal funding, corporate sponsorship and revenue derived from our evaluation projects. Over 85% of our annual income is used to directly impact children and schools, and for our investors (including private and public foundations).
We are well recognized within our sector for the quality and depth of our work given a small operating budget. We work smart, partner, and manage our programs very effectively.
