Ohio State School Partnership Summary 2008
The 2008 Ohio State School Partnership Summary provides information on hundreds of cooperative efforts between the university and those who work with school-age children and youth. The document is arranged by topic and by grade level, preschool-12th grade, and includes a professional development section. Featured Stories provides in-depth snapshots of selected partnerships, showcasing involvement at every level: across disciplines and grade levels, geographic locations, school buildings, and community sites. A subject index helps locate programs across the sections, a county index pinpoints programs in all corners of the state, and a title index gives access to programs offered at more than one level. See the P-12 Project website for more >

Foundations for Education Excellence
In September 2009, the Foundation Center, a national initiative founded in 1956 and serving close to 550 philanthropic institutions, launched a new online resource center that will help education funders align their grantmaking with funds available through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
The new Foundations for Education Excellence site was developed with a grant from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation and was launched in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Education (USDE). The center will connect education foundations with resources and tools to support innovative approaches to education reform at the local, state, and national levels. The portal includes the following:
- Interactive U.S. maps updated weekly with details for each state, including foundations that have made grants for elementary/secondary school reform; total ARRA education dollars announced, available, and paid out; and key ARRA education funding resources
- Summaries of best and promising practices drawn from foundation-sponsored reports
- Weekly spotlights of current foundation initiatives on education reform
- Lists of top foundation funders and nonprofit recipients in each of the education reform areas, by state
- Links to daily education news from the center’s Philanthropy News Digest, including upcoming and archived events related to ARRA funding for education
- “What You Need to Know,” a compilation of timely information from USDE, such as daily news feeds, guidelines, major announcements, and grant deadlines
