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. Henigconvene 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. The New Education Philanthropy offers an unprecedented
look behind the scenes at major foundations, exploring the goals,
values, and strategies that drive the new grantmakers' work and
outlining the lessons they have learned over the past decade. This
empirical inquiry into the ideas and activities of this secretive
sector promises to provide a valuable resource forresearchers and
reformers alike.
