Community foundations bring together the resources of individuals, families, and businesses to support effective nonprofits in their communities. Over the years, foundations have come to engage community problem-solving through more than just grant-making. They have added a rich array of other activities, including programs of community capacity building, active modes of advocacy, and centres for meeting. In 2011, the 700+ institutions in the United States gave an estimated $4.2 billion to a variety of nonprofit activities in fields that included the arts and education, health and human services, the environment, and disaster relief. The origins of this book stem from conversations among the leadership of community foundations about the challenges they must overcome in order to make such "foundational" contributions to their communities. As community foundations enter the second century of their existence (the first foundation was formed in Cleveland in 1914), the need for knowledge and best practices has never been greater. This book, with expert authors representing the best and the brightest in this important field, fills that need.

Community foundations claim to play an integral role in fostering philanthropy at a community level all across the United States. Community foundations have three distinct operational roles, including asset building, grantmaking, and community leadership. While asset building and grantmaking have methods available to quantify and measure their impact, community leadership has remained an elusive concept for community foundations for many years. This study investigates the idea of community leadership in the context of 81 community foundations based in California. The first part develops a conceptual framework of community leadership based on existing studies and practical guidelines, including the use of civic leadership, collective leadership, and community engagement. The framework provides an opportunity to apply leadership at the institutional level and assists in examining nonprofit organizations as the unit of analysis. The second part compares community foundations' purpose statements and mission statements across organizations and across time. The findings indicate the overall operating framework for community foundations has remained consistent; however, the stakeholders and goals of community foundations have appeared to change from being community focused to donor focus. The data indicate that the community leadership role has increased over the years but appears to have been primarily adopted by older community foundations versus the majority of community foundations founded after 1990—after the formal establishment of community leadership as a best practice with the field in 1990. The third part of the study reports on interviews with community foundation leaders regarding their perceptions of different leadership tactics, community initiatives, and grantmaking programs. The evidence from the interviews indicated that leaders practicing community leadership, in line with the conceptual framework and definition, are reporting an increase in community awareness, the number of active donors, and ultimately increases in funds raised and available for community investment.

Community foundations can be effective vehicles for channeling support to low income neighborhood organizations. This document comprises a guide for community foundations to help them develop their grantmaking and programming skills and to connect with other elements of community leadership. Chapter 1, "Why Support Low Income Neighborhood Organizations?" introduces the reader to neighborhood organizations and presents rationales for community foundation support of low income neighborhood organizations. Chapter 2, "Structuring the Program," gives guidance in developing a grantmaking program for neighborhood organizations. Chapter 3, "Helping Neighborhood Organizations Become Effective," describes what community foundations can do beyond grantmaking to help neighborhood organizations become effective. Chapter 4, "Expanding the Community Foundation's Capacities," presents features of a neighborhood grant program that will expand a community foundation's own capabilities, as well as increase support from within the community for low income self-help activity. Chapter 5, "Neighborhood Projects on a Shoestring," describes the range of neighborhood projects supported by community foundations in the Community Foundations and Neighborhoods Small Grants Program in detail, and presents hallmarks of successful projects. Chapter 6, "Assessing the Effectiveness of a Neighborhoods Program," is a checklist that can be used by community foundations and neighborhood groups in planning, evaluating, and training. The appendices comprise a list of neighborhood grants programs in eight community foundations and a partial list of institutions supportive of low income neighborhood-based organizations. (FMW)
