ABSTRACT

This chapter examines the regeneration of value and utility of the community foundation through a close look at one community foundation, the Columbus Foundation (TCF), which has been committed to the innovation of its business, practices the evolution of the community field throughout its history. It hopes the examination may give some signal as to the ability of this field to continue to evolve in order to calibrate to society's and our community's needs, to the changing landscape of philanthropy in America. Harrison Sayre continues his work with this group and was the chief proponent of its admitting private foundations as members in 1958. Our success is the community's success, and that is the motivation for the final innovation mention in this chapter: the creation of the first Strategy Map for the field of community foundations. The building out our Strategy Map, defines the role in serving the donors as that of "Trusted Philanthropic Advisor".
