Education Grantmaking during COVID-19: Funding Learning from Home
Grantmakers for Education
In March 2020, a pandemic brought traditional in-classroom learning to a halt for more than 55 million students in the U.S. Teachers and families, in most cases, found themselves scrambling to provide remote learning at short notice. What may have seemed like a fast solution, moving to online instruction, has highlighted challenges for many learners. Philanthropists across the country quickly stepped up to help fill the gaps. This report briefly addresses: (1) What are grantmakers funding?; (2) How have grantmakers informed their funding priorities?; (3) Where is the greatest risk?; and (4) What should education funders be mindful of moving forward?
