Communicating the value of foundations

Neimand Collaborative

How can philanthropy leaders move beyond the typical cash machine frame and communicate their full value and roles to influential Americans?

Rich Neimand and Dave Clayton of Neimand Collaborative are working on a Digest for release summer of 2010 that gets at this "how." They will present findings and examples from the field to help foundations better communicate value in their own way while strengthening the value of philanthropy as a whole.

Also read Dave's take here on PAI's latest findings from the survey of engaged Americans by Harris Interactive, and what the implications are for foundation communications and outreach strategies.
