Leadership In Philanthropy Fall 2006 (Pt. I)

A groundbreaking new study released this by the Greenlining Institute points to a troubling trend in foundation grantmaking: only 3.6% of grant dollars from the nation's top 24 private foundations went to minority-led organizations.
The study, titled Investing in a Diverse Democracy: Foundation Giving to Minority-Led Nonprofits, analyzes grantmaking of the nation's largest private foundations and California's largest private and community foundations. It finds a tremendous disparity in giving among these foundations. See Part I of this video that outlines the issue as told by community and Foundation leaders
