Accountability and Effectiveness Initiative
The philanthropic sector is facing both external and internal pressure to increase our effectiveness and improve our accountability as stewards of the public trust. In response to this pressure, the Maine Philanthropy Center has worked with the Forum of Regional Associations and local partners in the last year to develop resources for our grantmakers members. These resources include Guiding Principles and Practices for Maine Grantmakers, a Board Self-Assessment Tool and extensive resources to assist foundations in this process.
Accountability Publications for Foundation Staff, Trustees & Advisors. This resource sheet was created for the Legal Issues for Foundations: Annual Update program that MPC recently hosted. It has useful links and publications for foundation staff, trustees, and advisors.
