This month we’re talking about money. That’s right, funding plays a huge role in achieving equity in education and we are exploring the many facets of the world of philanthropic educational funding. We dig deep into the grant-making process, including what makes a grant proposal stand out, tips for finding funding resources, and more with our friend, Josh Elder, director of grants management at the Siegel Family Endowment.

Josh also shares his experiences of growing up in rural Virginia and how a teacher’s encouragement led Josh to teach halfway around the world before eventually pivoting to his philanthropic work.

Host: Lien Diaz, director of educational innovation and leadership at the Constellations Center for Equity in Computing
