ECONOMIC EDUCATION

The Hecht Foundation is interested in economic education that advances public understanding of free market principles and their relationship to individual freedom and flourishing. This includes the following types of projects:

 

  1. OUTREACH & TRAINING
    Student and teacher training through workshops, seminars, and classroom instruction in market economics, entrepreneurship, and other classical liberal ideas in law and public policy. Projects may involve the development and dissemination of educational materials (teaching resources, websites, books, videos, etc.) to people with limited experience and understanding of these concepts.
  2. PUBLIC POLICY SOLUTIONS
    Non-partisan, evidence-based policy research and public interest litigation that considers the relevance and application of free market principles to improve social and economic outcomes. The Foundation looks for think tanks and other independent groups with clearly defined strategies to communicate their findings in a way that is accessible to everyday citizens.

2026 FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES

The Foundation generally funds individual projects rather than operating expenses, with a priority on education projects that directly impact and benefit Canada.

Unsolicited funding requests are not currently being invited in this area. If you are seeking renewed funding for existing Hecht-supported projects, or have an exceptionally urgent request closely aligned to the Foundation’s priorities, please email education [at] hecht.org.
