Local empowerment through philanthropy: Is the community foundation the right model?
The Canadian Experience by Susan Phillips
This document summarizes a study comparing community foundations in Canada and the UK. It finds that larger Canadian community foundations are seeking to be agents of change in their communities by focusing on priorities, building knowledge networks, and collaborating with local partners. For example, one community foundation created a separate organization that invested over $17 million to address youth homelessness, while another launched initiatives around social connections and engagement. The study concludes that community foundations have potential to be major players in place-based philanthropy if they leverage their relationships and take strategic leadership roles in empowering communities.

Giving, philanthropy and creating a democratic society. Cathy Pharoah and Tom...Giving Centre
This document discusses the relationship between giving, philanthropy, and democracy in society. It argues that while giving can promote pluralism by distributing resources according to donor preferences, current patterns of giving do not fully represent the wider population and may not adequately address imbalances in wealth and power. While tax reliefs increase citizens' influence, their effects are not equal and they may incentivize giving by wealthier groups more. The document suggests that philanthropy's contribution to democracy and social justice could be increased by addressing its "democratic deficit" and better utilizing tax reliefs to encourage giving across society.

Summer 2016, DRF interns explored and identified the unrealized, and often overlooked, resources in the smaller neighborhoods around the Dan River Region by engaging in Asset Based Community Development (ABCD). ABCD is an approach to community improvement which focuses on the identification of a neighborhood’s strengths, rather than its needs.
Interns were assigned to teams that worked within local neighborhoods to identify the skills, personalities, associations, institutions, structures and relationships that make up that particular community. This information will help DRF and residents gain insight into the resources available, and those still needed, to help the neighborhood thrive.
DRF believes that interns working at this grassroots level can contribute to our efforts to make significant changes in that community’s civic capacity. Therefore they are contributing towards the work of DRF’s larger, overall goal of a more vibrant and revitalized Dan River Region.
