Philanthropy Leaders To Receive Ethical Fund Raising Award :: PNNOnline ::: "Higher education leader Claire L. Gaudiani and former Boston Foundation President Anna Faith Jones will be honored for their philanthropic service as the 2005 recipients of the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University’s most prestigious award.


Since 1990, the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University annually has presented this distinguished award to exceptional individuals. The award was created to honor Henry A. “Hank” Rosso (1917-1999), a founder of the Center on Philanthropy and founding director of The Fund Raising School at the Center. Mr. Rosso received the first award for establishing a means for fund raising professionals to learn about ethical philanthropic fund raising and for creating concepts of discipline and dignity in the profession.


A former Indianapolis resident, Gaudiani currently is a professor at The George H. Heyman, Jr. Center for Philanthropy and Fundraising at New York University's School of Continuing and Professional Studies. She previously was Senior Research Scholar at the Yale Law School and served for 13 years as President of Connecticut College. Under her leadership, from 1988-2001 the college quintupled its endowment.


“Anna Faith Jones is an important leader in the foundation world,” said Dwight Burlingame, Associate Executive Director of the Center on Philanthropy. “She changed the shape of the Boston Foundation and developed a number of innovative programs in Boston to fight poverty and support the arts.” "
