The Nonprofit Quarterly | @npquarterly | Texas Philanthropist: Our Contributions Can Not Replace Public Funding

The Nonprofit Quarterly | @npquarterly | Texas Philanthropist: Our Contributions Can Not Replace Public Funding: "According to Janet Harmon of the KDK Harmon Foundation of Austin, last week Texas grantmakers who support public education took a field trip to the Statehouse to talk with legislators. It was the first time they had ever done so, although they have been involved in public private partnership efforts for some time. They spent some time listening to lawmakers and finance experts apparently, but they also had a message to send – 'don’t depend on philanthropy to replace public money!'"
