I have long urged the foundations I work with to see that they have far more asset than just the dollars they provide. They have knowledge of issues and their communities. They have the power to convene. They have the power to work more closely with other funders re: issues. Even the wealthiest foundation has more of those non-cash assets than they do dollars. And unlike cash assets, their non-cash assets are limitless, both in actual amount and in their ability to do good. We have seen foundations accomplish what others thought to be truly impossible, simply by leveraging their non-cash assets along with (and sometimes instead of) their cash. So thank you for sharing this - what a bright start to the day! Hildy Sean:
