DIRECT CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES
PROMOTION OF PHILANTHROPY
Philanthropic Support organizations: Family philanthropy, small foundations and individual donors contribute an immense amount of resources to meet the growing needs in our country and our world. These organizations offer publications, events, research and networking opportunities to those who wish to grow in the art and science of innovative high-impact philanthropy. Our investment of leadership and funds in philanthropic support organizations allows us to partner in the inspiration, education and empowerment of our colleagues, as well as ourselves.
STRATEGIC VOLUNTEER ENGAGEMENT
We believe that strategically deployed volunteer energy increases the return on the majority of our community investments.
For thirty years the Foundation has invested in strengthening the sustainability and resilience of the social sector. We work with funders and nonprofits alike to influence philanthropic capacity building support and nonprofit leadership so that Strategic Volunteer Engagement becomes a standard best practice to maximize impact and mission fulfillment.
