Council on Foundations
Washington , DC

Speaking to the largest assembly of community foundation leaders in America, Council on Foundations President and CEO Steve Gunderson today called for America's philanthropists, both modest and affluent, to promote the role of their community foundations as catalysts for strong communities.

Gunderson urged attendees at the annual community foundation fall conference in Boston to join the Council in a 'town-by-town, county-by-county campaign to education members of the House and Senate not just about our institutions, but about philanthropy the movement."
