Publications

As part of our Centennial, we will be publishing a series of six books that will serve as important case studies in philanthropy. Each publication will be organized around an essential and abiding challenge, and provide readers a window into the extraordinary history of the people – grantees, fellows, program officers, and leaders – who have been at the heart of the Foundation’s work for 100 years. Timed to release throughout 2013, these publications will be available in both hard copy and e-book form.
