Small foundations are finding ways to increase their support of grantees by, in addition to giving them money, helping them spread the message about their programs, writes Susan Herr on the PhilanthroMedia blog.
Ms. Herr cites the current issue of Family Giving News, produced by the National Center for Family Philanthropy, which describes some of the ways in which small grant makers are making a difference.
Examples include the Frieda C. Fox Family Foundation, in Los Angeles, which produces short multimedia presentations about projects the group has supported.
“Board members of the nonprofits can download the videos to iPods in order to share their projects with others,” writes Ms. Herr.
And the Harman Family Foundation, of Washington, researches and publishes a yearly showcase of the charities it supports.
