Benchmarking for Good is proud to announce a new cycle of innovative AI-enabled, no cost research grants for qualifying faith based day schools. Several of our grant opportunities will involve the application of innovative AI-informed analytical techniques that will help participating schools design customized school improvement processes. The benefits will include the ability to design more focused and impactful initiatives to enhance employee, parent, and student satisfaction and advocacy.
