Program on Philanthropy and Social Innovation @ Aspen Institute reposted this
Last week we had the pleasure of convening a group of community foundation leaders and national funders at the historic Cleveland Foundation. It was an opportunity to reconnect and advance our ongoing project to reimagine the community foundation of the future and design a business model to support its expansive role in rebuilding the civic infrastructure across the country. During our time together, participants dreamed big and put some new ideas forward, many of which will be captured in a report that the Program on Philanthropy and Social Innovation @ Aspen Institute will release later this year. Convening inside the Cleveland Foundation’s new Midtown headquarters was a wonderful opportunity to witness the history of the world’s first community foundation, while thinking about the future of the field. Looking forward to sharing more about this work in the weeks to come. Onwards and upwards!
