Peace Grantmaking of U.S Sample Clauses

Peace Grantmaking of U.S. Philanthropic Foundations and the End of the Cold War" Readers: Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx and Xxxx XxXxxxxx Guided by neoinstitutional organizational theory and historical research on foundations, this study (1) develops a theoretical framework for analyzing the organizational profile of recipients of foundation grants, and (2) examines the peace grantmaking of large U.S. foundations in 1988- 1996 using this framework. Legitimacy concerns underlie foundation giving. As foundations confer legitimacy on causes and organizations they fund, they also seek to gain legitimacy from causes and organizations they fund. Elite recipients of grants - with which foundations are most isomorphic - play the latter function, while foundations' authority in conferring legitimacy is prominent vis-à-vis non -elite organizations, particularly social movements which often seek to mobilize foundation support. The study assesses the size and general characteristics of peace grantmaking; compares the relative shares of peace funding attracted by elite institutions, social movement and other organizations; analyzes the differences in funding patterns between four major peace funders and other foundations; and examines foundations' response to the end of the Cold War. The paper discusses how the patterns of foundation peace grantmaking have to do with the relationship between the U.S. nonprofit sector and the state, and suggests that this relationship needs to be studied further. The paper has been accepted for presentation at the 7th Researching the Voluntary Sector Conference of the British National Council for Voluntary Organisations in London, UK, in September 2001.
