In this pathbreaking study of foundation influence, author Joan
Roelofs produces a comprehensive picture of philanthropy's critical
role in society. She shows how a vast number of policy innovations
have arisen from the most important foundations, lessening the
destructive impact of global "marketization." Conversely, groups
and movements that might challenge the status quo are nudged into
line with grants and technical assistance, and foundations also
have considerable power to shape such things as public opinion,
higher education, and elite ideology. The cumulative effect is that
foundations, despite their progressive goals, have a depoliticizing
effect, one that preserves the hegemony of neoliberal institutions.
This multi-disciplinary collection blends broad overviews and case
studies as well as different theoretical perspectives in a critique
of the relationship between United States philanthropic foundations
and movements for social change. Scholars and practitioners examine
how these foundations support and/or thwart popular social
movements and address how philanthropic institutions can be more
accountable and democratic in a sophisticated, provocative, and
accessible manner. Foundations for Social Change brings together
the leading voices on philanthropy and social movements into a
single collection and its interdisciplinary approach will appeal to
scholars, students, foundation officials, non-profit advocates, and
social movement activists.
