Boston College

The Forum on Philanthropy and the Public Good was created at Boston College five years ago in recognition of the need for a forum to promote high-quality, non-partisan debate, research, and education on the most important policy issues facing the philanthropic and charitable sector today. By raising the level of sophistication of policy discussions and their timely expression, the Forum has played a leadership role in developing a full and fair airing of issues in connection with this inquiry. Given the Forum's work to create and disseminate knowledge about philanthropy, it fits within the Philanthropy Grantmaking Program's Knowledge for Better Philanthropy strategy.
