Update on Funding Priorities

Foundation Giving Trends

Our newest research report documents the grantmaking patterns of nearly 1,200 of the largest U.S. foundations in 2005, and tracks changes in funding trends over the past decade. It explores foundation giving by subject focus, recipient type, types of support, population group, and region. The report also details funding trends of the 100 largest foundations, giving by foundation type, and includes brief reports on giving in the aftermath of Gulf Coast hurricanes and the Indian Ocean tsunami.
