From the prosperous cities of Canada to the culturally rich matriarchal villages of rural India, community foundations have demonstrated an unparalleled ability to connect people to resources to effect positive change. Often, philanthropic initiatives have to overcome stiff odds or break new ground. Indeed, willingness to take risks is a hallmark of the 50 foundation-backed partnerships and programs highlighted here. Additional first-person accounts of civic improvements catalyzed by the narrators’ organizations contribute to a deeper understanding of the wide-ranging influence of the community foundation movement.
I really feel that phtpanihroly has a bright future, but that right now, it's quite alienated from the communities it hopes to serve, and often only reinforces its own existence, and the existence of its anointed grantees. Foundations are out of touch with the streets and the communities they serve, because they are caught up in the glamour of the executive class. Their efforts at due diligence create a culture of arrogance and disregard, often drastically limiting their impacts in the communities they serve by virtue of failing to recognize true leadership and innovation in those communities.Until that changes, a good deal of it is going to remain the realm of entitled foundation workers with six-figure salaries and full benefits packages saying "no" to important programs and projects that they just don't understand.
HHIS I should have thhguot of that!
