Education is one of the largest program areas within the philanthropic sector, with an average of 4.6 billion dollars dedicated annually to a multitude of priorities including public school reform, STEM education, parent and family engagement, and college and career readiness.

With generous support from the Arthur Vining Davis Foundation, Foundation Center has developed Foundation Landscapes: Education as a hub of funding data and information for donors, policymakers, and other stakeholders invested in improving education worldwide. With dynamically updated reports, statistics, resources, and news, Foundation Landscapes: Education aims to put the tools, data, and knowledge funders need at their fingertips so they can quickly scan the landscape and make more strategic decisions. This site was formerly called Foundations for Education Excellence.​
