LightSail has taken a unique approach to funding, having raised millions of dollars from some of the most committed and well-respected philanthropic organizations in the US. LightSail often partners with schools and districts to attract additional philanthropic support in order to accelerate the shift to digital by reducing the costs to districts.
Only 8% of districts in America have digital libraries, yet digitizing educational texts can save districts time, money and dramatically improve educational outcomes. LightSail helps forward-leaning foundations and private sector donors find the right projects with the right impact.
