Community Foundations on the Rise

Community Foundations are emerging as one of the more successful new development models – leading to a shift that says development should be driven BY a community and not done FOR a community from the outside.  We at the GRCF have always believed that change has to happen from within in order to have maximum impact and sustainability. Recently Jenny Hodgson and Barry Knight, from the Global Fund for Community Foundations, have published an excellent paper on the subject.  With their permission we have uploaded it to our blog so that you too can download it.  Community foundations are on the rise and hopefully this signifies a worldwide trend that shows that real development needs to start at the grass-roots level.
