“A lot of people today talk about how philanthropy needs to be more business-like, about how we need to incorporate principles from the for-profit business sector into the nonprofit and traditional grantmaking sector. I think that is a big mistake, and I urge you to take care before doing it.” [more] ([link removed])
—Larry Kramer, William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, on CEP blog

“Foundation leaders who want to make sure that they’re simultaneously thinking about the strategic “what” and the practical “how” should realize they have expertise to draw upon within their own teams." [more] ([link removed])
—Ruth Levine, Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University, on CEP blog

“Companies that measure the business value of community investments attain higher levels of total giving and volunteer participation rates.” [more] ([link removed])
—CECP, Giving in Numbers 2019
