keeping a close eye... by the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy: Families Making Good on Philanthropy’s Promise

keeping a close eye... by the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy: Families Making Good on Philanthropy’s Promise: "arlier this summer, more than 70 foundations, including some of the nation’s largest family foundations, signed on to a new initiative called “Philanthropy’s Promise.” Launched by the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy (NCRP), the campaign celebrates foundations that make a public commitment to providing:

At least half of their grant dollars for the intended benefit of underserved communities, broadly defined; and,
At least one quarter of their grant dollars for systemic change efforts involving public policy, advocacy, community organizing or civic engagement."
