IASC Weekly - Foundations and Fundraising
New York
This week, we are going to talk about a topic that, in light of the financial crisis, will be important to us all: Foundations and Fundraising.
With us today are two experts from the UN Foundation and the Source Foundation.
The UN Foundation was established by a $ 1 billion dollar gift of Ted Turner, the founder of CNN. It is highly active in fundraising and grant making, and so has so far contributed more than $600 million to various development projects.
