Recommended Resources

Grantmakers for Education has compiled the following reports and web site links about education issues and education grantmaking. We don't intend for these resources to be exhaustive—rather, we have tried to identify three or four good sources to serve as good jumping off points to learn about new issues, get ideas, keep abreast of the field, and find added resources.

In addition, note that many grantmakers and foundations have developed a deep expertise in some of the topics below and can be a high-quality source of further advice, reports, and evaluation findings. Search the GFE database to find members with expertise in certain issues.

We welcome your suggestions for other resources to share with funders. Please contact Chris Tebben at chris@edfunders.org.
