Business Week
worked with the Foundation Center and other organizations to publish a
series of multimedia presentations on company-sponsored philanthropy on
Bloomberg BusinessWeek.com. Along with videos and interviews from the
Gates Foundation, the Committee to Encourage Corporate Philanthropy,
and Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, research findings from the
Foundation Center’s reports on corporate foundations are highlighted in
the slide show,
“America’s Most Generous Corporate Foundations”. Steven Lawrence,
senior director for research at the Foundation Center, is quoted in the
article regarding the state of corporate foundation giving: “‘Corporate
philanthropy is a bellwether for the economy,’ says Lawrence. Depending
on how the markets perform, ‘We may see a faster return among corporate
foundations.’”
