Grantmaking in a Challenging Economy
Find information and resources for grantmakers and the broader community on grantmaking in a challenging economy, responses from the field, examples from the field and budget updates. Philanthropy faces an inherent paradox during this period of market instability and recession; precisely as asset bases bear the brunt of the downturn, the needs of the communities we serve increase dramatically. ABAG recognizes the fundamental challenges our members face and wants to provide support as members thoughtfully weigh options on how to proceed. It is important to consider the issue broadly and factor in many strategies to your foundation's response. These resources are intended to add to that dialogue and help funders adapt to this challenging economic environment.
