註釋Annotation In Effective Philanthropy, Mary Ellen Capek and Molly Mead offer strategies forstrengthening organizations through a commitment to diversity and gender equality. Capek and Mead'sresearch shows that institutionalizing a more nuanced understanding of what they call "deepdiversity" allows organizations to make full use of all the resources they have available, bothinside and outside their doors. The authors show how foundations have used "differences that divideus"--Race, class, gender, sexual orientation, geography, age, religion, physical ability, andothers -- to become learning organizations, a proven strategy for organizational effectiveness. Byvirtue of their "power of the purse" and more subtle forms of influence, foundations are key playersin US social, economic, and public policy and are increasingly influential internationally. Whenfoundations function effectively, there is potential for tremendous public benefit, and Capek andMead argue that goals for equity in philanthropy are similar to goals for any effectiveorganization. Offering demographics, case studies, strategic funding initiatives, theoreticalanalyses, and original research, Effective Philanthropy describes models for building effectivefoundations that can be applied to all kinds of institutions -- large and small, public and private, national and regional, bureaucratic and entrepreneurial -- including colleges and universities, nonprofits, government agencies, and multinational corporations. The diverse case studies and fundinginitiatives highlighted in the book include California Wellness, the Otto Bremer Foundation, thePhiladelphia Foundation, the Ms. Foundation for Women's Collaborative Fund for Women's EconomicDevelopment, and programs for women and girls funded by the United Way of MassachusettsBay.
