 Foundation
Governance: The CEO Viewpoint
In the fall of 2003,
the Center for Effective Philanthropy conducted a survey of the
CEOs of the 250 largest U.S. foundations to gather information
about the governance practices of foundation boards. The center
received 129 completed surveys for a response rate of 52 percent.
This report describes our findings, identifying foundation
responses to recent media and legislative scrutiny, as well as
highlighting the key attributes of foundation boards that are
perceived by CEOs as most effective.
