Are you interested in reading case studies of foundations that are supporting social change initiatives? Change Philanthropy is a new book that presents funding strategies and lessons learned over the years from a number of grantmakers, including the Ford Foundation, Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, and the Global Fund for Women. Each chapter focuses on a different funder, covering a variety of topics such as advocacy campaigns, socially responsible investing, business development in neighborhoods, support for immigrants, community funding boards, disaster recovery, and other areas.
Change Philanthropy: Candid Stories of Foundations Maximizing Results through Social Justice (Jossey-Bass 2009) was written by Alicia Epstein Korten.
A limited preview is available at Google Books.
