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 support for capacity building and technical assistance in education has remained strong, focusing on strengthening the organizational capacity of educational institutions to enhance impact. Specifically, from the 2004–2008 period to the 2019–2023 period, funding steadily increased from $2.4 billion to $3.9 billion. The most significant rise in philanthropic support occurred between the 2009–2013 and 2014–2018 periods, with a 46% increase. Between 2019 and 2023, funding support has remained relatively stable, ranging from $817.3 million in 2019 to $747.1 million in 2023.  \n20 Years of Funding for Capacity Building and Technical Assistance  \n2004-2008 $2.4B  \n2009-2013 $2.7B  \n2014-2018 $3.9B  \n2019-2023 $3.9B  \nFunding for Capacity Building and Technical Assistance Over the Last Five Years (2019-2023)  \n2019 | $817.2M   \n2020 | $704.9M   \n2021 | $837.9M   \n2022 | $881.7M   \n2023 | $747.1M   \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.
