Giving for Social Change: Foundations, Public Policy, and the American Political Agenda

by Robert Lerner, Althea K. Nagai, Stanley Rothman

Book Overview

This study shows how philanthropic foundations and their leaders help shape the American political agenda. The authors' central argument is that foundation leaders are members of a key social and political elite in American society. Relying on a survey of such leaders and on an examination of foundation public policy grants, the authors demonstrate that members of the foundation elite are among the most polarized groups in American society.
