Duke Sanford School of Public Policy

We've just posted a paper, "Foundations and Government: Social Innovation, Policy Advocacy and Collaboration to Improve Government Effectiveness," that Professor Joel Fleishman presented before the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management at its annual research conference held in Washington earlier this month. In it he enumerates the different forms that foundation-government relations can take, and concludes by arguing that one form—capacity building of government agencies, especially at the federal level—represents a potentially very fruitful foundation strategy.

Highly recommended.
