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.  \nOver the past 20 years, philanthropic funding for teacher education and the educator workforce, in terms of graduate and professional education, has steadily increased, reflecting the ongoing demand for teachers across the U.S. Notably, funding nearly doubled between the 2004–2008 and 2009–2013 periods, from $413.9 million to $729.6 million. Additionally, between 2021 and 2022, philanthropic funding for graduate teacher education almost doubled from $128.3 million to $227.9 million. A decrease was seen in 2023, however.  \n2004-2008 $413.9M  \nFunding for Teacher Education Over the Last Five Years (2019-2023)  \n2019  2020 $211 .3M  $129 .9M   \n2021  2022 $128 .2M  $227 .9M   \n2023 $160 .7M   \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.
