In 2024, the Governor’s Office of Foundation Liaison commissioned a deeper exploration conducted by the Johnson Center into early childhood and care partnerships between philanthropy and government over the past 20 years. The exploration resulted in the creation of an infographic timeline which overviews early childhood education investments and engagement over the last 20 years by OFL, foundations, and the Granholm, Snyder, and Whitmer administrations. Investments in early care and education have been a throughline for OFL; the following resource shares institutional knowledge and demonstrates the critical inflection points in which philanthropy helped move advancements in the 0-5 space.
