Foundation Management: Innovation and Responsibility at Home and Abroad

A foundation insider′s guide to financial management challenges and solutions
Foundation Management represents the only single–volume reference to cover tried and true and emerging financial planning and management issues–in both the domestic and foreign sectors–affecting philanthropic foundations. A companion to Frank Ellsworth and Joe Lumarda′s From Grantmaker to Leader: Emerging Strategies for 21st Century Foundations, this comprehensive survey not only provides practitioners with a better understanding of the changing financial, legal, and international landscape, but also delivers targeted operational management strategies. Topics covered include:
∗ European foundations
∗ Nongovernment organizations in Asia
∗ U.S. and Mexican relations foundations
∗ The relationship between the IRS and philanthropic foundations
∗ The roles of lawyers, accountants, and investment professionals
Extensive interviews with key industry insiders supplement the commentary throughout. Trustees, CEOs, CFOs, members of investment committees, tax and estate–planning professionals, and program officers will find Foundation Management to be an indispensable resource.
