About this grant
Established in 1956, the Foundation Center’s mission is to connect nonprofits and grantmakers in the United States to each other and to provide helpful tools and information in order to strengthen the domestic nonprofit sector. The grantee maintains a comprehensive database on domestic grantmakers and operates research, education, and training programs designed to advance philanthropy at every level. This renewal grant will provide support to the grantee for its Diversity in Philanthropy Research Metrics project. The grantee will build upon its extensive base of research conducted over the last grant period to continue developing a national system of collecting, analyzing, and disseminating data on diversity in philanthropy. The institutionalization of such a system will ensure that foundations are able to collect and have access to high quality data on diversity in the years ahead.
