Grantmakers for Education

Grantmakers for Education is a voluntary, national consortium for educational philanthropists comprised of nearly 300 member institutions sharing information and insights. The organization regularly hosts a professional development institute in partnership with Harvard University, for which it will develop a case study of foundation leverage, influence, and collaboration in rethinking state education accountability systems. Researching and explaining exemplar accountability reforms—from new purposes and processes to policy implementation—increases grantmaker capacity in the context of decentralization and advances an important and ongoing national discussion on establishing and measuring deeper learning outcomes.
