Grantmakers and Thought Leaders on Out-of-School Time

Grantmakers for Education's Out-of-School Time Funder Network has issued a new report, Grantmakers and Thought Leaders on Out-of-School Time: Survey & Interview Report, which takes a look at the priorities of grantmakers that support afterschool or other expanded learning efforts, finding that "improved academic achievement" and "increased student engagement" are their top goals for funding. The report also offers perspectives from leaders of youth-serving nonprofits, researchers, and other experts, including a recommendation that funders work to move K-12 reform toward a broader view of youths' learning and growth.
