Community foundations bring together the resources of individuals,
families, and businesses to support effective nonprofits in their
communities. Over the years, foundations have come to engage
community problem-solving through more than just grant-making. They
have added a rich array of other activities, including programs of
community capacity building, active modes of advocacy, and centres
for meeting. In 2011, the 700+ institutions in the United States
gave an estimated $4.2 billion to a variety of nonprofit activities
in fields that included the arts and education, health and human
services, the environment, and disaster relief. The origins of this
book stem from conversations among the leadership of community
foundations about the challenges they must overcome in order to
make such "foundational" contributions to their communities. As
community foundations enter the second century of their existence
(the first foundation was formed in Cleveland in 1914), the need
for knowledge and best practices has never been greater. This book,
with expert authors representing the best and the brightest in this
important field, fills that need.
