By collecting and analyzing new data as well as analyzing data available through a licensed database, we conducted a comprehensive scan. This research brief is produced as part of this scan and is one of a series that shares information on giving patterns in education over the past twenty years among foundations and other grantmakers, from 2003 to 2023. Giving data was sourced from Candid’s Foundation Directory. The analysis presented in this brief was conducted over a six-month period in 2024 and 2025.  \nEducation funding is not distributed equally across the United States and its territories. This brief represents philanthropic funding for education in the Southwest region of the United States, encompassing seven states:  \nCalifornia, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Colorado, Nevada and Utah. This region receives higher-than-average funding for education across the regions.  \nPhilanthropic support for education in the Southwest has grown exponentially over the past two decades. Notably, between the 2009–2013 and 2014–2018 periods, funding surged from $8.6 billion to $38.3 billion. However, this remarkable increase was followed by a leveling off, with funding growth during the 2014–2018 period mirroring the gains observed between 2004–2008 and 2009–2013. The increased philanthropic funding in education in the Southwest addresses the region’s demographic shifts and population growth, particularly among Latine communities.  \nFunding in the Southwest Over the Last Five Years (2019-2023)  \n2019 $9.6B  \n2020 $9.6B  \n2021 $11.8B  \n2023 $13.3B  \n2022 $12.7B  \n2004-2008 $6.6B  \n2004-2008 $8.5B  \n2014-2018 $163B  \n2019-2023 $267B  \nGRANT MAKERS  \nFOR  \nEDUCATION  \n|  \nIGNITE  \nPOS SIBI LT Y .  \n| | | Region-West: WA, OR, NM, UT, AZ, NV, ID, WY, CO, MT, CA, AK, HI\u003Cbr>Philanthropic support for education in the Western United States has increased rapidly over the past two decades. From 2004 to 2008, funding totaled $6.4 billion, rising sharply to $55 billion for the 2019–2023 period. This positive trend has continued in recent years, with funding in the Western region increasing from $9.7 billion in 2019 to $12.9 billion in 2023. |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| |  | Region-Midwest: ND, SD, IL, IN, OH, MI, MO, KS, NE, IA.
