INTRODUCTION Dear Colleague, In 2016, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation commissioned research by the Center for Effective Philanthropy (CEP) about foundation leaders’ perspectives on the current state—and future—of foundation philanthropy. We at CEP set out to understand foundation CEOs’ perspectives on how much of a difference foundations are making on important issues in society, and on what the barriers are that are standing in their way. We asked foundation CEOs about the pressing issues they believe will impact society, and foundation philanthropy in particular, in the coming decades. We wanted to learn about their concerns and hopes and what they believe is the unique role that foundations can play in society, relative to other sectors. The result is The Future of Foundation Philanthropy: The CEO Perspective, which is informed by the perspectives of more than 200 CEOs who responded to a survey or participated in indepth interviews. The findings highlight challenges faced by foundation leaders today, concerns for the future, and reasons to be optimistic about the future of foundation philanthropy. We hope that these findings will help catalyze a candid discussion among CEOs about the changes that need to occur for foundations to maximize their impact and more fully realize their potential. To that end, we decided to invite current foundation CEOs to share their reactions to the research findings and move the conversation to “what now?” We did not offer suggestions for what CEOs should write about and we did not edit the content of their writing. Their reflections are included in the following pages. We encourage you to read the full report together with these reflections. We are so appreciative of those who submitted reflections, and wish to thank them for helping spark discussion on these important issues.
