About Us
The ECT Foundation (Engaged Critical Thinkers Foundation) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded to help educational institutions bridge the innovation gap—and stay ahead of a rapidly changing world.
We work with sponsors and partners to deliver what schools and educators actually need: innovative programming imbued with critical thinkers, subject matter expertise, hands-on execution support, and grant funding. Our goal is to make high-quality programs accessible.
We’re registered in North Carolina, with board members in NC, VA, CT, and TX—and we’re growing nationally.
Interested in sponsoring or partnering? We’d love to connect.

We support higher ed institutions
of all sizes
But we focus on those that are smaller or underfunded, lacking the resources and expertise to build these programs on their own.
