Category: The Foundation Review

This issue features articles on the use of AI in philanthropy, highlighting leaders who forged ahead while acknowledging risks, deploying AI for different purposes, and then thoughtfully reflecting on their experiences.

Articles in this issue share the core premise that all funder listening is not equally beneficial. How listening is defined and how funders put it into action make a major difference in what listening can accomplish.

The articles in Volume 17, Issue 1 of The Foundation Review each tell us something about a concept that is top-of-mind today: our ability to be resilient in the face of significant challenges or change.

In this special 15th-anniversary issue on democracy, equity, and power, we explore the implications of the current climate at the intersection of philanthropy, social justice, and nonprofit support.

This special anniversary issue presents the most-read articles from the journal’s 15-year history, each with author commentary in newly written prologues, as well as a book review and new article for 2024.

The articles in this issue of The Foundation Review run the gamut from reports on tightly defined research and evaluation to broad theoretical discussions about the nature of philanthropy and foundations.
