Giving Forum 2010 Editorial Calendar
Summer 2010: Public Policy and Philanthropy
In these tough times, an optimistic “can-do” movement is taking hold as
foundation, nonprofit and government representatives roll up their sleeves, join
forces and share resources to tackle immense social issues. Locally and
nationally, unprecedented efforts are underway to leverage grassroots advocacy
and public policy action to influence change in the public sector. This issue of
Giving Forum will dig into philanthropy’s increasing participation in public
policy initiatives for the betterment of the community.
Fall 2010: Focus on Family and Private Independent Foundations
Of the approximately 1,450 foundations in Minnesota, 85 percent are private
family and independent foundations. These foundations award more than $500
million annually, and of the various grantmaker types, they are the largest
funders of the environment/animals, international affairs, health, and human
services subject areas. Some of these foundations have endured for generations,
while others are only months old. This issue of Giving Forum will delve into
what inspired these individuals to create a foundation, the impact of their
work, and the legacy they hope to create.
