From our PreSIDent

WHY InSIGHT?
philanthropy has always been about values, intuition, and conviction, all of which remain as vital today as they were one hundred years ago when Andrew Carnegie created his foundation. But they are no longer sufcient. Today, philanthropy has become a global industry; social investment is on the rise, collaboration is more necessary than ever, and radical changes in technology are transforming everything. We are awash in a sea of information, and real progress on the issues about which we care the most will only come through knowledge and insight.

uring 2010, the Foundation Center took a hard look at its more than 50 years of achievement. We took stock of what we have done wellbecoming the most trusted source of information for nonprots seeking foundation grantsas well as where we have fallen short convincing foundations that our knowledge resources can help them achieve their missions. our successes with grantseekers can be documented in testimonials, like the development ofcer who wrote to tell us that the Center is her go-to resource for countless challenges and that our services have improved the impact her nonprot makes in the Bay Areajust as our failures with foundations are epitomized by a recent grant proposal rejection, sent to us by a foundation that recommended we consult the Foundation Centers resources to identify other sources of funding. Clearly we have yet to demonstrate our value to this donor beyond being a referral for their applicants. Made public in interactive blog form in February of 2011, our new strategic plan, Foundation Center 2020, articulates the Centers visiona world enriched by the effective allocation of philanthropic resources, informed public discourse about philanthropy, and broad understanding of the contribution of nonprot activity to increasing opportunity and transforming lives. Foundation Center 2020 goes on to identify six strategic priorities

Two initiatives symbolize our dedication to knowledge services. The rst is Philanthropy In/Sight, an online resource displaying information about more than 100,000 grantmakers and 2.4 million of their grants, all on familiar google maps. users can pick a subject as broad as education or as specic as bilingual programs and plot who is giving grants and who is getting them, in their own zip code or around the world. powered by the Foundation Centers deep data resources, our goal is to make Philanthropy In/Sight the tool of choice for foundation professionals and donor advisors seeking the knowledge that can make their philanthropy more strategic.
