Foundation Source Client Philanthropy Survey

Foundation Source shares key findings from a survey of private foundation donors. Issued in October 2013 to its 1,100 private foundation clients, the survey collected feedback from donors about their beliefs and perceptions around some of philanthropy’s current “hot-button” issues.

Results were derived from 198 respondents, the majority of whom have private foundations with less than $50 million in assets. Foundations of this size account for 98% of the approximately 86,000 private foundations in the U.S.
