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 Deep South, encompassing five states-Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee.  \nOver the past 20 years, philanthropic funding for education across the Deep South has grown significantly, from $1.4 billion from the 2004–2008 period to $9.5 billion in the 2019–2023 period. Notably, there was a nearly threefold increase in funding from $1.7 billion during 2009–2013 to $6.4 billion during 2014–2019. Between 2019 and 2023, philanthropic funding for education in the region grew by 34%, from $1.6 billion to $2.2 billion. It is important to note that, despite this growth, philanthropic support for education in the Deep South remains limited compared to other regions in the U.S. While funding has increased, it still severely lags the levels seen in more affluent or better-funded areas of the country.  \n2004-2008 $1.3B  \n20 Years of Funding in the Deep South  \n2009-2013 $1.6B  \n2014-2018 $6.4B  \n2019-2023 $9.4B  \nFunding in the Deep South Over the Last Five Years (2019-2023)  \n2019 | $1 .6B  \n2020 | $1 .8B  \n2021 | $1 .8B  \n2022 | $2 .0B  \n2023 | $2 . 1B  \nGRANT MAKERS  \nFOR EDUCATION  \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.

Notably, funding peaked from 2009–2013 to 2014–2018, from $7.3 billion to $55.5 billion.

Funding more than doubled between the 2009–2013 and 2014–2018 periods, reflecting a period of rapid growth. In recent years (2019– 2023), funding increased by about 25%, from $7.9 billion in 2019 to $43 billion in 2023. |\n| |  | Region-South (TX, LA, MS, AR, FL, AL, GA, NC, SC, VA, WV, DE, MD, KY, TN, OK)\u003Cbr>Mirroring trends across other U.S. regions, philanthropic support for education in the South has grown exponentially over the past 20 years.
