New Philanthropy Playbook: Funding Innovation in Education

Education philanthropy is undergoing a seismic shift. Funders are pushing for sustainable business models and concentrating their bets, while nonprofits scramble to adapt. This panel explores the opportunities and challenges of this new landscape, examining how rapid innovation, especially in AI, is widening the gap between well-funded organizations and those struggling to keep pace. Join us for a candid conversation about sustainability, innovation, and the future of education funding. We'll debate whether these changes are driving progress or creating a problematic “winner-take-all” dynamic.
