    This report presents a detailed analysis of shifts in American household giving from the year 2000 to 2016, which includes information about giving behaviors from before (2000-2008) and after (2010-2016) the Great Recession (which occurred from December 2007-June 2009).

    Crafting the Past: Mission Models and the Curation of California Heritage
    (Taylor & Francis, 2015) Kryder-Reid, Elizabeth; Department of Anthropology, School of Liberal Arts
    Small-scale representations of the California missions in the form of mission models and miniatures have circulated in public and private display contexts for close to a century. Produced by students, hobbyists, preservationists, and artists, this material culture constructs, in specific and codified ways, an ideal mission materiality. For almost a century the mission models have been consumed through the distinct discursive practices of crafting, collecting, displaying, and buying. The models allow me, therefore, to trace the production of cultural memory in daily life through the materialization of heritage constituted through formal and informal practices, across personal and public spheres, and over multiple generations. In their representation of landscape, labor, and Native Americans, these discursive cultural artifacts contribute to the construction of a highly politicized past that reinforces a romanticized and valorized presentation of colonialism. A postcolonial critique of the models also raises questions regarding the roles of heritage professionals in mediating community-curated history.

    The Landscape of Community Philanthropy
    (2020-08) Paarlberg, Laurie; LePere-Schloop, Megan; Horning, Cherilyn
    Community philanthropic organizations, those organizations like United Ways and community foundations, have traditionally played important roles by raising and distribute resources within a specific geographic place, increasingly play important roles in planning for and funding local public service delivery. Over the last two decades, the field of community philanthropy has experienced many shifts. Changing donor expectations, increased competition from other nonprofits and commercial funds, economic restructuring and demographic shifts have all pushed local United Ways and community foundations to rethink their roles and their business models. These changes also affect relationships between organizations. This report summarizes the roles that United Ways and community foundations play in their local communities, their perceptions of the changes going on in the world around them and their perceptions of their relationships with each other.

    Women's Foundations and Funds: A Landscape Study Executive Summary
    (2019-05-14) Gillespie, Elizabeth M.
    Women’s foundations and funds are a powerful force in philanthropy dedicated to women and girls. Research has shown that women are broadly philanthropic, and often have a keen interest in giving to women’s and girls’ causes. While studies have examined women’s motivations to give to other women, the women’s foundations and funds that facilitate much of this giving have not been thoroughly studied.
