dBusinessNews :: Daily Business News Delivered to Your Desktop: "Foundation for the Carolinas launches support center
Charlotte -
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Roughly 30 nonprofits in Charlotte and Mecklenburg County that received grants of more than $10,000 last year from the Foundation for the Carolinas are using software it provided to help them track their impact.
Based on ideas from dozens environmental groups and experts, the foundation also is developing a funding program to address land-use issues.
And nonprofits, individuals and families investing charitable dollars through the foundation now can allocate some of their funds' assets to hedge funds as a way of managing investment risk.
All three efforts reflect the range of services the foundation offers as it retools itself to be a philanthropic-services hub, with new centers to serve corporate clients, individuals and families, and nonprofits.
'We are really honing very specific services and capabilities that support the discrete needs of these different client groups,' says Laura Meyer, executive vice president."
