Grantmakers investing gifts of money, time or expertise to improve education face important challenges. Too many children enter school without important skills, and too few leave school ready for college. Deep achievement gaps divide children children by race and income at all levels of the system. Increasing public scrutiny, expectations and accountability for both educators and grantmakers are colliding with decreasing resources. Yet, when approached wisely, we know that philanthropy -- regardless of a grant's scope or size -- can make a difference in improving the nation's education systems.

Founded in 1995, Grantmakers for Education is philanthropy's knowledge source for achieving results in education. By connecting effective education strategies with effective grantmaking strategies, we help foundations and donors leverage their investments to improve achievement and opportunities for all students.

We invite you to join our network, use our resources and participate with colleagues in making a difference in the education of America's young people.
