The Council on Foundations Strategic Framework emphasizes the Council's important role in increasing collaboration among the many organizations that now serve the foundation world. Affinity groups, regional associations, university-based and nonprofit research and education programs are all a growing part of the resource network available to grantmakers.
The Council will:
-
Form new working relationships with other philanthropic support organizations, where each contributes its core strengths in complementary ways
-
Test ways to better facilitate regional and local service delivery, networking, and identification of emerging trends or issues
-
Adjust existing working relationships to ensure that organized philanthropy receives services effectively and economically
