Special Edition: How much could the 2024 election change our education system?
How well is your organization prepared for a shift in federal funds
To address this knowledge gap, we are publishing a 2024 Election Analysis to help education leaders understand the likely impacts of the election on education policy and how they can start preparing for it. This thorough analysis details the proposed policies and potential scenarios of a Vice President Harris or President Trump Administration, along with predictions on House and Senate control and Project 2025. The analysis also provides insight into key gubernatorial races and recent Court cases.
There are a range of possible outcomes for this election–a divided government with both parties sharing power or either party controlling the executive and legislative branches. Our advice–don’t wait until November to start planning. It is in an organization’s best interest to act now and prepare for the different scenarios.

Impact on Philanthropic Partners
Earlier this week, foundation leaders convened as part of our Funder Dialogue Series. We walked attendees through a 2024 Election Analysis tailored for funders and two D.C. insiders enlightened us on how they see education philanthropy impacted by the election–both at a national and state level. If you are a funder and would like to be included on invitations to future dialogues, let us know.
Regardless of the election outcome, Education First is here to help education leaders navigate this time of change. If you are looking for a thought partner, a high-level risk assessment
