Wondering How Foundations Are Reacting to Tough Times?

The Minnesota Council of Foundations has created a resource area geared towards funders that has news and information that is very helpful to nonprofits. The resource page includes articles on: Outlook; What Are Specific Foundations Doing?; and Resources for Grantmakers. Explore articles about the impact of the downturn on foundation assets or learn about different perspectives offered on how to respond to the financial crisis.

The MCF plans on holding roundtables of member grantmakers to discuss the outlook and to publish the 2009 Outlook Report in January. A public meeting in February will follow for foundations and nonprofit organizations about the findings and their expectations for philanthropy next year.
