Download or read book Strategic Giving written by Peter Frumkin and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The philanthropic landscape is changing dramatically as a new generation of wealthy donors seeks to leave its mark on the public sphere. Peter Frumkin reveals in Strategic Giving why these donors could benefit from having a comprehensive plan to guide their giving. And with this thoughtful and timely book, he provides the much-needed framework to understand and develop this kind of philanthropic strategy. After listening for years to scores of individual and institutional funders discuss the challenges of giving wisely, Frumkin argues here that contemporary philanthropy requires a thorough rethinking of its underlying logic. Philanthropy should be seen, he contends, as both a powerful way to meet public needs and a meaningful way to express private beliefs and commitments. He demonstrates that finding a way to simultaneously fulfill both of these functions is crucial to the survival of philanthropy and its potential to support pluralism in society. And he goes on to identify the five essential elements donors must consider when developing a philanthropic strategy—the vehicle through which giving will flow, the way impact will be achieved, the level of engagement and profile sought, the time frame for giving, and the underlying purpose of the gift. Frumkin’s point is that donors must understand strategic giving as the integration of these five critical dimensions to giving. Essential reading for donors, researchers, and anyone involved with the world of philanthropy, Strategic Giving provides a new basis for understanding philanthropic effectiveness and a promising new way for philanthropy to achieve the legitimacy that has at times eluded it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past few years, there has been an extensive re-evaluation of the way in which American institutions interact with and demonstrate their concerns for communities of African Americans, Hispanics, Asian Pacific Islander Americans, and Native Americans. One issue under reassessment has been the adequacy of financial resources dedicated to strengthening these communities through employment preparation, health, community improvement, education, arts/humanities, and basic human services. As part of the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy's (NCRP) mission to encourage corporate grantmakers (and other philanthropic institutions) to be more responsive to the needs of disenfranchised communities, NCRP has initiated a series of surveys to determine the scope and extent of corporate support for Racial/Ethnic grantmaking patterns of the top corporations in the U.S. This survey is analysis of the Racial/Ethnic grantmaking patterns of the top 25 publicly-held corporate profitmakers of 1988, according to Forbes magazine. Co-published with the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy.

Download or read book International Grantmaking written by Loren Renz and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking study maps the dimensions and patterns of international giving by U.S. foundations in the 1990s, revealing dynamic growth in overseas funding and a dramatic shift in priorities tied to the end of the Cold War. The study examines more than 12,000 international grants made by 500 U.S. foundations and constructs a detailed picture of who makes grants, where the dollars go, and what the grants support. Examples include programs that promote sustainable development and the growth of civil society, preserve the world's cultural heritage, and protect human rights. The study also investigates the practice and challenges of international grantmaking, drawn from in-depth interviews with experienced funders. Up-to-date profiles of the international programs of 63 leading funders complete the portrait of U.S. giving trends. For a comparative view, the report features articles on the international activities of Japanese and European grantmakers. An extensive bibliography and summary of the regulatory framework for crossborder grants make this an essential resource for grantmakers, grantseekers, researchers, and NGO's both inside and outside the U.S. Prepared in cooperation with the Council on Foundations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Donors' Education Collaborative of New York (DEC) began with a scene more typical of politics than philanthropy: five foundation presidents in a room, trying to figure out what to do for a city that had fallen on hard times in the early 1990s. They investigated specific topics--such as the public hospital system and school governance reform--and sought advice from some of the city's most well-informed voices. What the group of five eventually settled on in late 1994 was more in the nature of a general mandate than a specific plan: The foundations would work together for five years, pooling funds to support a common set of grantees, with the goal of increasing public support for New York City's public schools. The result: Since the mid-1990s, constituency building and advocacy for better public education have grown steadily in New York City, as organizations dedicated to that work have strengthened their internal capacity and increased their reach, visibility and sophistication. Much of that growth has been fueled by philanthropic dollars from DEC members. DEC pools both the financial resources and the expertise of its members to advance a complex set of shared grantmaking goals. Since its founding in 1995, 27 foundations and donors have become involved as members, some for the entire duration and others for shorter periods. DEC is scheduled to operate at least through 2007, by which time its grantmaking investments will total nearly $10 million. Grantmakers for Education's Principles for Effective Education Grantmaking describes the importance of seeking out "leverage, influence and collaboration" to make a difference in education. The depth and range of problems in education often make it difficult for funders to achieve meaningful change when working in isolation. Collaboration among funders may therefore be important (and perhaps even essential) to effective grantmaking in certain areas of school reform. The reasons are many: funders who work together can invest larger sums than most could do on their own; they can achieve greater value and impact; and they can learn from one another through collaborative analysis and problem solving. This case study focuses on the early years of DEC, including decisions about governance, strategy, grantees and evaluation, from its creation in late 1994 through 2002. In doing so, this study seeks to illustrate for grantmakers the advantages of collaborating and coordinating with other funders to advance common goals--as well as the very real challenges of blending the diverse philosophies and interests of different foundations into a unified strategy and agenda.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Education and Globalization written by Jacqueline Behrend and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023 with total page 1073 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The categories commonly mobilized to think about education have long been associated with the notion of the nation state, and functioned as obstacles, rather than resources, for our understanding of how globalization plays out in this particular field. In the last two decades, both social theory and comparative politics have attempted to overcome these limitations in their own way. Social theory increasingly acknowledged education as a global phenomenon. Theories have been developed to describe a global society evolving across borders. They show how, through processes that remain debated (cultural isomorphism, capitalism, functional differentiation), a number of structural and semantic evolutions have spread across education systems. Part I of this Handbook is dedicated to presenting, discussing, and comparing three such theories of globalization and their implications for our understanding of education and education policy. Comparative politics has for its part concerned itself with developing a more complex, less unified and 'transformationalist' view of the State by acknowledging the fragmentation and distribution of its functions among distinct domains and levels. Part II gravitates around this global constellation, with chapters focusing on global reforms, norms and ideas put forward by supranational organizations, on international accountability processes and on the ways in which nation states or local actors adopt, implement or resist global ideas and reforms. The two Parts reflect these disciplinary approaches to the relation between globalization and education. Together, these two approaches seek to provide a comprehensive overview of how globalization and education interact to result in distinct and varying outcomes across world regions"--
