“Acting Bigger” by Partnering with Government

In the spring of 2014, the Southeastern Council of Foundations (SECF) convened more than a dozen health legacy foundation CEOs from throughout the southeastern United States to reflect on the Monitor Institute’s monograph, What’s Next for Philanthropy: Acting Bigger and Adapting Better in a Networked World. SECF’s session focused on ways in which foundations “act bigger” by partnering with government—at the local, state, and national levels.

Key themes from the session are discussed in this Views from the Field.
