Our Spend Out - The Whitman Institute
http://thewhitmaninstitute.org/about/our-spend-out
In 2011, TWI found itself at a crossroads. As a small foundation with modest assets, we realized that we could not sustain our level of giving indefinitely (consistently above the legal minimum foundation payout of 5% of assets). At the same time, we could not justify reducing our grants budget at a time when resources were so scarce and our grantees were doing such important work. There are many ways to move forward, but only one way of standing still. Franklin D. Roosevelt. Get the Latest News.

For now, I’m just going to paint a general picture of how we got to where we are today. Because I have been so intimately involved in TWI’s evolution, we decided I should write in my own voice. I begin with the genesis of my own professional interests. Consequently, when I came to The Whitma...
