The new education philanthropy : politics, policy, and reform

Hess, Frederick M., editor, Henig, Jeffrey R., 1951- editor

Overview

\"Philanthropic foundations play an increasingly influential role in education research, policy, and practice--yet this sector has been subject to little research-informed analysis. In The New Education Philanthropy, Frederick M. Hess and Jeffrey R. Henig convene a diverse group of scholars and analysts to examine the shifting role of education philanthropy over the last decade, giving particular attention to the large national foundations--Gates, Broad, Walton, and Lumina, among others--that are increasingly aggressive and strategic in their use of funds. Drawing on original research, they investigate and assess the impact of new patterns in foundation giving for advocacy and research; the divergence in funding strategies between old and new foundations; the extension of \"venture philanthropy\" to higher education; and the backlash against \"reform\" philanthropy as well as the unlikely partnerships it forges\"--Publisher's website.
