There are an estimated 60,000 small foundations in the United States, most with a handful of employees and all-volunteer boards. Yet they account for half of the money distributed each year by all foundations.

While larger organizations tend to address broader issues, their more petite counterparts aim at direct targets.

It is the smaller, often family foundations that many believe are the wave of philanthropy’s future.
