June is Funding for Education Month at the Foundation Center, and many of you have been signing up for programs, classes, and webinars through our five regional libraries. But did you know that we have a Focus On page with even more information? Here’s what you’ll find:
- Education for a Global Society: Provides data and an examination of the issues related to education funding across the globe, including early childhood education and higher education in Africa. Here you will find statistical tables analyzing the distribution of education grants (awarded by U.S. grantmakers) in the U.S. and in all other countries; interactive maps showing funding for education by recipient countries; research reports and foundation-funded studies; and links to additional research tools and information sources.
- Commentary: Provides access to our Philanthropy Chat interviews with foundation and nonprofit leaders providing practical advice and information about initiatives and programs. Check out the interviews with Bruno Manno, senior associate at the Annie E. Casey Foundation, and Jonathan Bydlak, executive director of DiscoverScholars.org.
- Tools and Resources: Links you to useful tutorials, guides, and FAQs on the topic, and lists Foundation Center products that help grantseekers and researchers.
- Additional sections point you to reports and research, news items, and our specialized newsletter, Education Funding Watch.
So if you're looking for a wide-ranging discussion of philanthropy in education, both in the U.S. and across the globe, explore this online information hub, rich with data, discussion, and ideas.
