Racial justice has emerged as the top priority for education grant makers, according to a new report.
Thirty-nine percent say racial justice in education should be a primary focus of education philanthropy over the next one to three years, according to a survey of foundations by Grantmakers for Education. It was the top-ranked of five priorities respondents were asked to weigh as the “most important” for education philanthropy over the next three years.
“Racial justice in education was far and away the single most important theme that funders really wanted to go deeper on and do more with,” said Celine Coggins, executive director of Grantmakers for Education. “Our members have felt the call to action of the racial-justice reckoning that is happening right now and are very interested in being supportive of that and thinking about the ways that translates to support schools.”
