Great Minds PBC

City-funded organization

Great Minds is a Washington, D.C. based public benefit corporation, founded in 2007, whose own site describes it as a developer of K-12 curricula including Eureka Math, Wit & Wisdom, PhD Science, and Geodes. It holds five active NYC Department of Education contracts totaling $18.5 million as of August 2026: "Textbooks and Ancillary Materials" ($14.4 million) and "Educational Software" ($3.6 million), both awarded through the DOE's pre-approved vendor listing (a non-competitive award method), a renewed "Literacy Professional Development and Coaching Services" agreement ($3.3 million, term starting October 2026), and the original "Literacy Professional Development and Coaching Services" ($300,000) and "Math Related Services and Professional Development" ($150,000), both awarded via RFP. Across all 17 DOE contracts since 2021 ($22.1 million all-time awarded, $23.7 million paid to date), 97% of contract value ($21.3 million) was won without a fresh competitive bid. The node's contract titles do not specify which curriculum line each covers, so no specific contract here is attributed to Eureka Math or Wit & Wisdom by name.
