This newsletter concerns the relevance
for social funds in Urban Areas. Social funds face a common
challenge of sustaining the community capacities that are
built and investments that are supported beyond the
relatively short lifespan of external funding. For long-term
sustainability, external funding needs to be replaced by a
steady flow of domestic revenue. The Community foundation
(CF) approach offers a number of advantages for urban work.
Community foundations are independent organizations that
provide grants to support a variety of projects identified
and implemented by local residents. A CF does not replace
the scale of resources and national reach achieved by social
funds. But it can provide a partial answer to the
sustainability challenge in some large and medium-size urban
areas, where it can mobilize local resources and sustain
social dynamism and participation in broad areas of
development work.
