Knowledge Capsule #3
Support New Community Foundations
How can a movement be ignited and supported to grow?
Support organizations are community foundations’ first national-level allies. They speak of a vision for vibrant and confident communities, connect with leaders invested in that shared vision and together build resources to pave the road to that desired future.
Our newest capsule shows a map for this adventure, from finding committed local leaders to supporting initiative groups and helping them grow into capable community foundations.
