Grantmakers for Education
Founded in 1995, Grantmakers for Education is a membership organization of hundreds of
grantmaking organizations across the nation working to improve outcomes and expand opportunities
for learners across the education spectrum, from early learning through postsecondary and
workforce development. Our mission is to strengthen philanthropy's capacity to improve educational
outcomes and opportunities for all students. To accomplish this goal, we help foundation leaders and
staff become more effective grantmakers by boosting their knowledge and their networks.
GFE is governed by a 12-member
volunteer board of directors comprised of
active foundation trustees and staff.
Anne Stanton of the James Irvine
Foundation is the current Chair and
President of the organization, and Ana
Tilton serves as GFE’s Executive Director.

GFE’s Out-of-School Time
Funder Network
•
The Grantmakers for Education Out-of-School Time Funder Network was created in 2009 as a
forum within GFE for philanthropic organizations interested in increasing access to high-quality
OST experiences for young people and building systemic supports to sustain the field. Our
primary strategies include sharing knowledge and effective practices; forging collaborations
among grantmakers; and building alliances with K-12 education reform, child development and
well-being, and other aligned grantmaking communities.
The GFE OST Funder Network is guided by
its Steering Committee.

Common Core - Frequently Asked Questions
With the transition to Common Core, does the philosophy of Elevate [Math] shift?
Elevate [Math] is going through a transition period alongside our school districts. The philosophy of the program
will remain consistent with years past. The program is designed to support students who are on the cusp of
being ready for success in 8th grade math. By enrolling in Elevate [Math], students will be better prepared for
their 8th grade math course as well as A-G completion in high school.
With the transition to Common Core,
who are the target students for Elevate [Math]
Target students are students who (historically)
scored in the high basic range on the CSTs,
have concerns about success in the next level of math,
and are referred by their 7th grade teacher.
