Welcome!

Grantmakers for Education strengthens education philanthropy in the United States. Our tools, programs and services allow our 260 member organizations to share best practices, learn of new developments, and advance alignment and collaboration among funders. By deepening the impact and effectiveness of funders who support early learning, K-12 and postsecondary education on local, regional and national levels, GFE improves educational outcomes and increases opportunities for all students.

If you are an education funder, we invite you to enrich your grantmaking by:

PARTICIPATING in GFE's online and site-based programs, which include web seminars and member briefings that each focus on a topic of interest to the field, as well as our annual conference, the nation's largest gathering of education funders. Registration is currently open for our annual conference.

LEARNING from GFE, the leading knowledge source for education funders. Our eight Principles for Effective Education Grantmaking guide best practices in the field. You can deepen your organization's ability to apply the principles effectively through our Case Studies series.
