Foundation Center Creates New Institute for Civil Society and Philanthropy :: PNNOnline ::: "The Foundation Center has announced the creation of its new Alexis Institute for Civil Society and Philanthropy, designed to serve as a major source of knowledge on the rapidly evolving world of philanthropy and civil society in the U.S. and around the world. Lester M. Salamon, Professor and Director of the Center for Civil Society Studies at Johns Hopkins University, has been named the founding director of this new institute. The Center’s Board and staff are committed to raising an initial $10 million for the institute as part of a broader campaign.
In making the announcement, Foundation Center President Sara L. Engelhardt said, 'Philanthropy is undergoing a sea change that is extending its boundaries and re-shaping its contours as we move into the twenty-first century. The field is growing more diverse, more entrepreneurial, more collaborative, and more global. The Foundation Center is committed to enabling all the players—within the larger civil society sector, as well as in the governmental sector and among the engaged public, domestically and around the world—to understand and connect to these new dynamics.'
