97BN is the IEFG Community’s dedicated cross-media platform. It is designed to identify trends in education philanthropy and amplify collective expertise, insights, and best practices in global education funding through a mix of blog posts, initiatives, and the IEFG podcast.*

It can be a disruptor to the structures and silos of the global education community, with different ideas, perspectives and networks. It can build bridges and support innovation. And often, it can fund where others can’t.
