Funding Social Change: From the Inside Out,by Ronald W. Clement,
offers advice for grant makers who want to initiate big changes through small organizations. In this publication from the Haigh-Scatena Foundation, Mr. Clement suggests that foundations can best encourage social progress by learning to scout worthy grant recipients, crafting a way to measure results, and understanding social-change activists and their work. The author warns foundations that “risk averse” behavior stultifies change: “All grant awards require taking a chance on something.”
