The Value and Specificity of Community Foundations
in new and changing contexts
Knowledge Capsule #1 The Value of Community Foundations
This capsule is designed for Community Foundations in new contexts, where there is little experience with this organizational form, but there is interest to explore and learn, and where examples from other contexts may be useful. Especially relevant for:
New and seasoned practitioners with an interest in the community foundation concept, who want to understand them or champion this form of organizing social energies at the level of local communities.
Community foundations support organizations who want to make a case for why community foundations are important in their national context, explain their unique value proposition and discover new ways to structure, communicate qualities and foster conversations and learning experiences in their own spaces.
What are community foundations and how they are distinct from other organizations?
