More than the Poor Cousin? The emergence of community foundations as a new paradigm

This paper sets out findings from a baseline study of 50 applications for grants from the GFCF. The paper uses information gained from the processes of assessing the grants to learn lessons about the state of the field, what it can contribute in terms of outcomes and impact, and hypotheses in taking forward work of this nature. The paper suggests that community philanthropy may have an important role to play in creating a new paradigm for development.
