Foundations: Creating Impact in a Globalised World - Luc Tayart de Borms
Foundations examines the evolving dynamics driving philanthropy as Western society struggles to meet today's many challenges, taking a hard look at the sensitive issues of democratic legitimacy, accountability and credibility in the context of civil society, as well as the changing policy environment in which foundations operate.
The Global Media Centre was created by the Network of European Foundations' Mercator Fund to provide the specialised advocacy and media outreach work that the policy-making and philanthropic community needs. Its objective is to provide assistance in reconciling philanthropic, policy, academic, scientific, and social objectives with the need for a "media friendly" story, developing and tailoring messages to resonate with key decision-makers.
