Video : Foundation Leaders Offer "Insider Insights"

At the recent Council on Foundations Conference, more than 1,000 leaders gathered to share strategies for addressing the deeply entrenched issues of poverty, health, disaster and the environment. Invited to "blog live" from the conference, PhilanthroMedia decided on the fly, to interview select leaders regarding their advice for high net worth donors also looking to address these challenges. This six-minute video highlights some of what we learned from the heads of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the San Francisco Foundation, the Heinz Endowments and others.

We will post longer excepts, including some that didn't make it into the short version, in the coming weeks.
