Founded in 2006, the One8 Foundation’s mission is to accelerate and bolster the success of nonprofit organizations with the highest potential to achieve breakthrough results in the foundation’s issue areas. The One8
Foundation (One8) does this by pursuing a venture philanthropy approach – identifying highly promising grantees
to support with meaningful funding and deep strategic engagement. Supporting nonprofit organizations in both
the United States and Israel, the foundation’s model combines grant-making and pro-bono consulting with key
strategic grantees.
In 2016, the One8 Foundation launched an internal team called Mass STEM Hub (MSH) tasked with scaling and
supporting specific grantee organizations focused on applied learning and STEM education. Mass STEM Hub
partners with schools to support the high-quality implementation of premier STEM and applied learning
programming that engages students and prepares them for college and 21st century careers.
