Facing Facts
Wallace Foundation Report on
Community Assessment
The
Wallace Foundation's
2005 annual report,
Facing Facts (56 pages, PDF), offers examples of cities, states, school
districts, arts groups, and youth-service organizations that
employ market research and other tools to assess changing
community needs and use data to devise and implement
improvements in arts programs, education, and out-of-school
learning. In her president's essay, M. Christine
DeVita highlights three ways in which private foundations can
support those efforts.
