California Foundation Data—Now Available At-a-Glance
Grantseekers and grantmakers can enhance their philanthropic impact with current, authoritative data. Foundation Center’s new California Foundation Stats dashboard is a free, online tool that allows anyone to access hundreds of charts and tables on the size, scope, and giving priorities of California and non-local foundations, lists of top funders by region and issue area, and trends in funding specific support strategies and population groups.
Free Webinar: What Story Does Your 990 Tell about Your Foundation?
What does your foundation’s 990 say about the organization? Glasspockets recently partnered with the Communications Network to offer an insightful webinar on the Form 990’s potential risks and vulnerabilities, as well as how to use Form 990 to share the work of your organization.

What Story Does your 990 Tell about your Foundation?
The IRS now releases 990s as machine-readable, open data, making it easy for anyone to collect data, compare, and make judgments about your foundation's work - all without your input. Watch this webinar to learn about the challenges facing foundations, and the opportunities to better share your institution's work.
