Policy Patrons offers a rare behindthescenes view of decision making inside four influential education philanthropies: the Ford Foundation, the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and the Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation. The outcome is an intriguing, thoughtprovoking look at the impact of current philanthropic efforts on education.Over a period of several years, Megan E. TompkinsStange gained the trust of key players and outside observers of these four organizations. Through a series of confidential interviews, she began to explore the values, ideas, and beliefs that inform these foundations strategies and practices. The picture that emerges reveals important differences in the strategies and values of the more established foundations visvis the newer, more activist foundationsdifferences that have a significant impact on education policy and practice, and have important implications for democratic decision making.In recent years, the philanthropic sector has played an increasing role in championing and financing education reform. Policy Patrons makes an original and invaluable contribution to contemporary discussions about the appropriate role of foundations in public policy and the future direction of education reform.
