111 Visionary Program Officers: A Who’s Who of Progressive Foundations, by Mac McLean and Michael Shuman, publishes the resumes of grant makers who participated in a survey intended to shed light on their backgrounds. Each entry lists the person’s employment history, education, honors and awards, political activities, and publications, along with basic contact and financial information for the institutions where they work.
