Matterfund (Now Cei By R4D)

Matterfund merged with Center for Education Innovations, a permanent initiative under Results for Development based in Washington D.C. Under CEI it continues to be a place where funders & leaders meet the people behind the world’s top education initiatives. It’s the long-awaited social graph for education. Sustainable Development Goal 4 has inspired smart people around the world to work on the greatest problems in education. We need a platform to surface & connect those people. Matterfund does exactly this. At Matterfund’s core is an intelligent social graph that answers the questions we really need to know. Who supports what? Where are experts placing their bets? Which initiatives have cross-sector buy-in? Who’s accountable? With whom should I connect? Matterfund is inspired by social graphs from the tech sector. Education needs to adopt this missing piece in order accelerate progress and reach SDG4. When the right people can connect quickly and intelligently, top initiatives scale and progress accelerates.
