Center details future foundation giving

The Foundation Center has compiled information detailing how the economic climate may be affecting foundation giving. The list includes several longtime pubcasting supporters, such as the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, which "will maintain or increase grantmaking in 2009, despite the performance of the market to date," and the Ford Foundation, which "will honor all outstanding commitments to its grantees and will increase the percentage of its endowment that is paid out in grants in 2009 and 2010."
