Grantmakers for Education

Annual Conference

Grantmakers for Education will hold its 2020

Annual Conference Oct. 12–14 in New York City.

The event is billed as the largest national con-

vening of education grantmakers. With the goal of

improving outcomes for every learner, the conference

workshops and sessions are designed to challenge

education-oriented philanthropists as they adapt to a

rapidly evolving eld that is ever more interconnected.

According to organizers, the needs of today’s

learners are quickly evolving, leading to critical

questions such as:

• Is our education system prepared to serve a

student populace that differs signicantly from when

the system was developed?

• Are we preparing young people to participate

in a society that looks and acts profoundly different

from the one we grew up in?

• Will today’s learners be ready and able to meet

the promise of fullling work and meaningful con-

tribution to society?

• What essential capacities will learners need to

support a strong democracy?

Registration fees for this event were not available

at press time.
