Tracking promising foundation efforts

The Giving Practice, Philanthropy Northwest

What activities are foundations – large and small – undertaking to connect with influential Americans?

Led by Anne Green at The Giving Practice of Philanthropy Northwest, this project seeks to identify a range of tactics that foundations are using in their communications and outreach to influential Americans. 

Anne Green has completed interviews with regional association and foundation leaders about their promising practices. The project seeks to culminate with a guide for foundations, to be released Spring 2011.
