The IEFG is the largest global network of philanthropic actors funding education. We are committed to achieving the fourth Sustainable Development Goal, and believe in the power of education to drive progress towards the other SDGs. We are all passionately engaged in local, national and international grant-making within diverse organisations, with differing priorities and individual strategies but a shared belief in the power of education and a shared drive to urgently improve the performance of education systems worldwide.
We are a peer-led, member-driven group, focused primarily on co-learning, information exchange and networking, trying to collectively strengthen our members’ work and knowledge of the field. The IEFG does not seek to directly influence education policy agendas and spaces; we aim to support and enable philanthropic funders in their work. Our purpose is to help private funders have a stronger voice and impact in education by improving their strategic analyses and thinking, informing and assisting their grantmaking, and providing opportunities for collective learning and action.
