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.  \nThere has been a strong and sustained philanthropic interest in education systems transformation, particularly in policy, advocacy and systems reform over the past 20 years. From the 2004–2008 period to the 2019–2023 period, funding for policy, advocacy and systems reform education support more than doubled to $5.3 billion from $2.1 billion. Between 2019 and 2023, funding remained relatively stable, with a notable increase to $1.3 billion in 2021, up from $938.8 million in 2020. Increased philanthropic investments in education reform during this period were likely due to support for systemic changes that address inequities exacerbated by COVID-19 . There was also increased interest and support for student voice and advocacy, and policy coalitions as strategies for systems transformation.  \n2004-2008 $471.7M  \nFunding for Policy, Advocacy and Systems Reform Over the Last Five Years (2019-2023)  \n2019 $355.3M  \n2021 $303.6M  \n2023 $345.1M  \n2020 $279.9M  \n2022 $359.9M  \nAs the leading network for education philanthropy, Grantmakers for Education offers an unparalleled platform for learning, collaboration and influence – backed by front-line sector research, exclusive insights and a vibrant community of peers. We believe in the value of philanthropy as a catalytic partner in creating a just world.
