In a readable, coherent, and succinct account, Kiger surveys the
changes that have taken place in U.S. foundations in the 20th
century and describes our foundations as they exist today. Opening
with historical information on the emergence of large foundations
at the beginning of the century, the book discusses the major
characteristics of foundations, emphasizing that they are organized
to give away rather than make money, and identifies and discusses
the major changes since 1950.
In considering those changes, the book considers such topics as
growth and expansion, diversification in the makeup of trustees and
staff, and governmental oversight and supervision. In the
increasing movement of foundations into the international sphere,
the book covers their international activities and the formation
and operation of international centers and groups associated with
them. "Phlanthropic Foundations in the Twentieth Century" provides
a useful overview of the growth, development, and operation of
foundations.
