From PhilanthropyWiki
|
This paper provides a scan of US philanthropic practice in terms of collaboration between foundations, attempting to answer the questions:
- How can philanthropic foundations pool their resources without relinquishing control of their individual values and goals?
- How can foundations overcome the practical barriers to collaboration, such as administrative procedures, paperwork, and differences in institutional practices?
The paper examines under what circumstances foundations might choose to collaborate, conditions for successful collaboration, and circumstances under which national and local foundations might work together.
