"With the growth of both financial and intellectual capital beyond the realm of passive grantmaking, foundations hold great promise to model leadership by the way they manage, communicate, and challenge the old ways of doing the business of doing good. From Grantmaker to Leader: Emerging Strategies for 21st Century Foundations takes stock of this shifting landscape, presenting bold leadership strategies for directing philanthropic organizations into the uncharted waters of the future.".
"Seasoned foundation executives Frank Ellsworth and Joe Lumarda assemble an all-star roster of insider contributors, dividing their trenchant study into four sections. "From Carnegie to Gates: The Changing Faces and Needs of Philanthropy" examines the history of family and community foundations and how the turmoil of the "New Economy" will affect these organizations in the future.
Section two, "The Foundation's New Reach: The Emerging Role of Leader, Communicator, and Facilitator of Change," challenges foundations to reexamine their role by way of venture philanthropy, media relations, and public policy. The third section, "Building the Foundation Board of the 21st Century: Diversity and Strategic Planning," explores the governance of foundations, principally on the issues of introducing the strengths and assets of the whole community into foundation boardrooms and initiating methodical, prudent, and yet provocative long-range planning.
The final section, "Building Foundation Wisdom: The Challenge of Accumulating, Synthesizing, and Sharing Knowledge," builds on a growing belief that the unsung and untapped asset of foundations is the vast amount of compiled community knowledge."--BOOK JACKET.
