Successes of Philanthropy
Philanthropies play a unique and important role supporting innovative experiments that, when successful, often become the basis of future government policy. Successes of Philanthropy is a sponsored project of the Washington Monthly devoted to documenting the philanthropic investments and innovations that are making a real-world impact, as told by the foundations and philanthropists themselves.
