More in Philanthropy
The reporting tracks large gifts and their recipients, foundation grant decisions and program changes, nonprofit leadership transitions and the policy and advocacy work that major philanthropic organizations fund and direct. New York City's concentration of private foundations, major donors and nonprofit institutions makes it the primary hub of philanthropic decision-making in the country, and gifts announced here regularly carry national implications for the causes and institutions they reach. Arts, education and social services institutions depend significantly on philanthropic support, and changes in giving priorities ripple through those sectors in ways that generate ongoing coverage. Tax and regulatory changes affecting charitable giving and foundation operations contribute a recurring policy layer to the philanthropy coverage here.
