This trend shows up repeatedly through Grantmakers for Education’s series of  benchmarking surveys administered to education philanthropies starting in 2008. As recently as our 2018-19 survey, when asked which populations were the focus of their funding strategy, only 41% of foundations reported applying a racial/ethnic lens. A far greater percentage, 71%, reported that the population on which they focused was those facing socioeconomic disadvantage.  \nSigns of Change. The events of 2020, from the murder of George Floyd and other Black Americans to the COVID-19 pandemic, heightened scrutiny into ongoing racial injustice and disparities in the United States. A flurry of news stories and reports in 2020 and 2021 touted massive dollars flowing from philanthropy to organizations and issues addressing racial equity and racial justice (see examples here, here and here) .  \n1  \nGRANT MAKERS  \nFOR EDUCATION  \n|  \nIGNITE  \nPOS SIBI LT Y .  \nRepresented in those articles and interviews were philanthropies that fund education, many of which are members of Grantmakers for Education (EdFunders) . Early attempts were made to quantify the total amount of these pledges, with some of the largest being $200  billion estimated by McKinsey & Company and $11.9 billion estimated by Bridgespan and  Policy Link using Candid data.  \nIn addition to the media reports, our own  survey data in 2020 revealed that education funders believed racial justice was a top priority. Thirty-nine percent of respondents chose racial justice in education as their top priority (of five choices) for future funding, ranking it well above the other four choices.  \nConflicting Data. Yet starting in 2021, new research reports were released decrying the lack of grant funding for organizations working to address racial equity and justice.  \nTwo notable reports were Mismatched:  Philanthropy’s Response to the Call for  Racial Justice by the Philanthropic Initiative for Racial Equity, which found that 6% of all funding supported racial equity, and  \n\\#JusticeIsTheFoundation: New Data on Racial  Equity and Racial Justice Funding in Education  Philanthropy by the Schott Foundation for Public Education, which found that 10% of all K-12 education funding supported racial equity. These numbers fell well below the estimates from McKinsey & Company, Bridgespan/Policy Link and others.  \nIt takes time to steer large organizations in new directions, and data collection based on IRS Form 990s is often years old by the time it is publicly available. Consequently, the data from these research reports is mostly from 2015-2019 and does not reflect a potential shift happening in the field. This prompted us to ask whether the well-intentioned statementsand announcements we saw in the news were translating into grant funding that could have an impact on learners of color.  \nIndeed, we are not the only ones asking  \nthis question. A May 3, 2022, article in the  Chronicle of Philanthropy questioned how well the pandemic-inspired changes in philanthropy were taking hold: “Of all the changes philanthropy has made, the increase in support for organizations led by Black people or supporting racial-equity efforts is perhaps the most tenuous,[Center for Effective Philanthropy President Phil] Buchanan says.” Even the Bridgespan/Policy Link report mentioned above stated “…how much actual giving has happened is hard to definitively pinpoint.”  \nRESEARCH QUESTION AND METHODOLOGY  \nIn fall 2021, Grantmakers for Education set out to determine whether and how many of our members were moving from intention to action, making g","cbCaiszf76JkXTra","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiszf76JkXTra","pdf",729455,"English","# Introduction\n# Grant Makers for Education: Ignite Possibility\n## Research Question and Methodology\n## Answering the Question","[{\"question\":\"What did the member survey indicate about racial justice and related priorities?\",\"answer\":\"In the fall 2021 survey, 60% answered yes to increasing grantmaking with racial justice and DEI as a priority, and 3% indicated it is already an ongoing component, leading to 63% viewing it as a priority.\"}]","New Trends in Philanthropy to Support Racial Equity and Learners of Color | PDF",1792052311,15]
