- Growing Local Philanthropy: The Role and Reach of Community Foundations [pdf]
In recent years, observers have noted the emergence of geographic component funds (GCFs)—that is, funds within "lead" community foundations that are dedicated to serving specific geographic areas or communities, and that typically include local decision making and/or operating structures. At present, however, scant reliable nationwide data exists about these geographically targeted funds, and certainly no "roadmap" shows how to establish, organize and sustain them. This CSG survey represents a first step in documenting the current status and trends related to GCFs and, more broadly, assessing how these funds affect the culture of philanthropy in our communities. In addition, the survey updates information on community foundations' asset and endowment size, governance, and service area. - "On the Brink" - the Future of Community Philanthropy (new window)
