Now, more than ever before, philanthropy is being asked to rebuild communities and help individuals live up to their potential. We are seeking-before being asked-ways to help people enjoy healthier lives and assist our schools to educate young people for the century we're living in. We operate in cities and in rural areas, across America and around the globe. Philanthropy accomplishes its missions through the work of thousands of foundations, the dedication of tens of thousands of individuals, and the power of partnerships between public agencies and philanthropic organizations.
