Foundations Today examines trends in foundation giving, the overall growth of foundations, changes in their staffing patterns, and their public reporting trends. In addition, Highlights of our research studies are available on our Web site. FC Stats features the latest statistics on foundations and their giving patterns. The Center also strives to meet the information needs of funders themselves, through telephone reference assistance, custom searching of our database, and research advice. We also encourage you to let us help communicate current information about your programs by sending us information updates either in paper or electronically.
Philanthropic activity is in the public spotlight.
Not only have our primary audiences of grantseekers and grantmakers expanded their use of Foundation Center services, but other audiences, including government representatives, academics, and the media, are seeking our assistance more frequently. Your general support will help ensure that the Foundation Center's services to the nonprofit and philanthropic communities remain vital and responsive.
