Winner of the Community Development Society's 2014 Current Research
Award! 21st Century Philanthropy and Community fills a gap in the
literature on philanthropic organizations and how they intertwine
with community development. Drawing first on the history of
philanthropic funding, Maria Martinez-Cosio and Mirle Bussell look
at developments in the last twenty years in detail, focussing on
five key case studies from across America. The authors use their
own first hand experiences and research to forge a new path for
academic research in an area where it has been lacking. With the
current economic climate forcing shrewd spending, foundations need
all the guidance they can find on how to appropriately channel
their funds in the best way. But how can these sorts of community
projects be analyzed for effectiveness? Is there a quantitative
rather than qualitative element which can be studied to give real
feedback to those investing in projects? Arguing against a
one-size-fits-all model, the authors illustrate the importance of
context and relationships in the success of these projects.
