Sridhar Parthasarathy asks about city-based Community Foundations:
Filed Under:
Q: I am interested in knowing about the working aspects of city-based Community Foundations that are created exclusively to address local issues through mobilisation of funds from the community members themselves. Can you help? Are there success stories or papers researching on their efficacy aspects?
Ruth Norris, Senior Program Officer with the Skoll Foundation, responds:
You may want to start with two websites with information and research about community foundations:
• Community Foundations of America
• The Monitor Institute and Blueprint's site on emerging philanthropy
