Trends in Education Philanthropy: Benchmarking 2018-19
Grantmakers for Education’s 10th anniversary edition of Trends in Education Philanthropy: Benchmarking 2018-19 offers insights on the current and evolving priorities of the education funding community. The survey results make clear that we, collectively, have begun to redefine education philanthropy and education reform. This new report identifies significant and profound shifts in education investments toward social and emotional learning and postsecondary and early education, and away from the core K-12 reforms that have largely defined the last decade of policymaking, as well as other relevant findings.
The report's release has spurred a national dialogue about education reform via news articles and opinion pieces from prominent voices in the field. Articles include:
