About Central Texas Education Funders

Central Texas Education Funders (CTEF)
has committed to improving the
effectiveness of the education non-profit
sector by providing opportunities for
collaborative learning, funding, and
advocacy. The Giving Profile is one way
of
advancing
CTEF’s
mission
by
providing an avenue to understand how
education grantmakers are approaching
their work in Central Texas, both
individually and in the aggregate. Using
data gathered from a 20-question
survey, we’ve endeavored to find
answers to these questions:

Which education issues/ areas currently draw the most attention from local
funders?

What are the overlapping areas or gaps where funders may collaborate to
advance their missions and achieve the greatest impact?

What are the long-term goals and grantmaking priorities of education
funders?
In 2013, 33 CTEF funders provided information for our sixth annual Giving Profile,
awarding nearly $20 million in educational grants to 145 non-profit organizations
across the Central Texas region.* Survey respondents also reflected to share best
practices and funding resources with their CTEF colleagues, as we work towards
our goals of strengthening each individual funding organization as well as Central
Texas’ education landscape as a whole.
Turn to page 13 to access the “CTEF
Funders Toolkit.”
Learn more about professional development opportunities,
funding software, strategy tools, national organizations, and books and
publications that your fellow CTEF members recommend as valuable as we
continually endeavor to share our strengths!
*The Central Texas region includes the five-county area of Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Travis, and Williamson counties.

CTEF members represent a broad spectrum of funders with grantmaking budgets of different sizes and scope.
While many members fund areas outside of education, over 50% of members invested at least half of their
grantmaking budgets in education-related grants in Central Texas in 2013. Here’s what survey participants
had to say when asked these questions…

The below graphs illustrate a moving comparative snapshot of members’ investments from 2009 to 2013, by
funding strategy and by content areas. While year-to-year comparisons are provided, a slightly different set
and number of funders have participated in the data-collection process each year and thus the data is focused
on percentage of funders participating in each category. The purpose of this 5-year snapshot is to illustrate
general trends over time in CTEF members’ grantmaking efforts in Central Texas.

Mission
To improve the effectiveness of the education sector by providing opportunities for collaborative
learning, funding, and advocacy among Central Texas education funders
Vision
We envision an education sector that helps all students achieve their full potential. Because of
CTEF, grantmakers make more informed and coordinated decisions about funding opportunities
and the ways in which they can foster change in the community, both singly and collaboratively.
As a result of this collaboration:
 Effective programs are sustained and expanded; duplicative services are reduced or
eliminated;
 Innovations addressing unmet needs are encouraged;
 The level of investment in education increases;
 Grantmaking and evaluation processes are more efficient and transparent.
Membership
At the end of 2013, more than 70 funding entities are members of CTEF. Membership is open to
private foundations, public foundations, and corporate philanthropies that:
 Identify education as one of their focus areas
 Make grants in Central Texas (may be headquartered elsewhere)
Individual funders and operating foundations do not qualify.
Activities
Members learn and work together throughout the year through workshops and discussions;
collaborative site visits; the common grant application and report; the common indicators project;
book club; collaborative funding projects such as mindPOP and RAISEup Texas; and the publication
of the Giving Profile.
