Governance and Isomorphism in Local Philanthropy

Abstract

Governance issues facing local philanthropy are explored from the perspectives of grantmaking foundations, governance approaches sought locally and localized institutional vehicles, such as community foundations. Case examples of philanthropic action and governance issues are considered, in UK and Japanese contexts, and advocacy of stakeholder approaches to governance of philanthropy reviewed. The countervailing pressures of isomorphism as locally-based organizations seek to legitimate their activities, are also considered. Finally, reflections are offered on the advocacy for governance change from within the foundation world; and on the future directions for research and practice on governance in local philanthropy in demanding economic times.
