Education Grantmaking During COVID-19: Early Trends
Grantmakers for Education
In March 2020, the nation's schools began shutting down in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19. More than 55 million students as well as teachers, administrators and families have had to adapt at lightning speed. Philanthropists have responded quickly, but the need for educating students has garnered little funding attention so far. As the country moves through, and then out of the pandemic, there are ample opportunities for education funders to continue to impact the future for millions of learners. This report answers the following questions: (1) What are the early impacts of COVID-19 on learning?; (2) How are funders responding so far?; (3) How does this fit into existing data on education grantmaking trends?; (4) What are we learning from grantmakers?; and (5) What should funders be mindful of moving forward?
