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.

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… What is your organization’s in 2013? What percent of your organization’s total grantmaking budget was spent on in 2013? This includes all grantmaking areas, not just education. 10 6% Less than $100,000 33% $100,000 -$500,000 33% $500,000 -$1,000,000 Greater than $1,000,000 27% 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Less than 25% What was your organization’s average education grant size in Central Texas in 2013? 16 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 8 8 25% to 50% 7 50% to 75% Greater than 75% What was your organization’s in Central Texas in 2013? 6% 15 1 year or less 7 7 2 30% 2 to 3 years 2 64% Other/ varies by grant 9 __________________________________________________________________ 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. % of Survey Respondents Employing Strategy Type of Grant Strategy from 2009-2013 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% 2009 2011 2013 Project Grants General Operating Grants Capacity Growth Grants Building Grants CONTENT AREAS 2009 2011 2013 Advocacy Arts Education Charter Schools College Access/ Readiness Community Organizing* Core Academics Dropout Prevention Early Childhood Education English Language Acquisition Mentoring Post Secondary Degree Cert.

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.
