The Philanthropic Collaborative for Education is a national hub for convening and connecting leaders in education philanthropy, advocacy, research, policy, and practice. A signature initiative of the collaborative is the Education Funder Strategy Group, created to provide foundation leaders with a learning community to exchange ideas on the intersections of philanthropy, research, and policy. The collaborative also organizes Grantmakers for Thriving Youth, the Data Funders Collaborative, and Funders in Flux. These collaborative networks of funders advance ideas and practices for strengthening public education. (Strategy: K-12 Teaching and Learning)
