  • The Walton Family Foundation Charts a New Course by Michelle Wisdom
    Case Study No. 12 PrinciPles For Effective education GrantmakinG investing in change: the Walton Family Foundation charts a new course by michelle Wisdom OCTOBER 2015 1 Grantmakers for Education’s mission is to strengthen philanthropy’s capacity to improve educational outcomes for all learners. We achieve this mission by: 1. Sharing successful strategies, effective practices and lessons that exemplify responsive and responsible grantmaking in education. 2. Creating venues for funders to build and share knowledge, debate strategies, develop leadership, collaborate and advocate for change. 3. Gathering and interpreting data to illustrate trends, highlight innovative or proven educational approaches and support informed grantmaking. Grantmakers for Education developed its series of case studies on effective education grantmaking as reflection and discussion tools. Cases are not intended to serve as endorsements, sources of primary data, or illustrations of successful or unsuccessful grantmaking. In addition, to help make the case a more effective learning tool, it is deliberately written from one foundation’s point of view, even though other foundations may have been involved in similar activities or supported the same grantees.
