Abstract

In 1948, when The Pew Charitable Trusts was established, grantmaking was closer to a personal act of charity. Today's world has greater needs, tougher problems and more comp etition for resources. Grantmaking, accordingly, is closer to a strategic investment with the return measured not in profits, but in long-lasting, positive and powerful results. One result the Trust seeks is the greater engagement of Americans in the civi c process of democracy. Rebecca Rimel is president and chief executive officer for The Pew Charitable Trusts. The Trusts, with more than $4.7 billion in assets, invested more than $213 million in 298 nonprofit organizations in 1998.
