Abstract
Community foundations are locally based
grant making foundations that mobilize local philanthropic
contributions to support variety of development projects.
They are becoming increasingly important in mobilizing local
resources and development expertise. These foundations play
a particularly valuable role in assisting local development,
strengthening resourcefulness and capacities, attracting new
resources and cultivating philanthropy from local donors for
community-based and Community-Driven Development (CDD). This
note provides guidance to those considering community
foundations as an element of a larger CDD or Social
Investment Fund (SIF) project.
