Unlike traditional philanthropy that typically relies on grants, community foundations have created new initiatives that invest in nonprofits, community development organizations and social purpose for-profits entities for local impact. Learn the various ways that community foundations have structured their programs including their sources of funds, governance, types of investments, focus areas, risk management and underwriting processes.
