Future Matters: Communities on the Move: Community Philanthropy, Immigrants and Giving

This second Future Matters report from 2008 focuses on the many ways that immigrants and their communities, in the U.S. and their nations of origin, interact with community foundations. It also looks at the practices and meanings of philanthropy within immigrant communities, which varies by culture, generation, and expectations of the individuals and families. As varied as they are, these practices may hold useful lessons for community institutions, including philanthropic foundations.
