  7. Private Foundations: Corporate • Company-sponsored: Derive grantmaking funds from contributions of a profit-making business • Often maintain close ties with donor company • Legally separate organizations subject to same rules and regulations as other private foundations • >2,700 that distributed $4.7B in 2009 (10% of all foundation giving)

  8. Public Foundations • Receive contributions from many sources • Grantmaking overseen by board of directors • May emphasize specific segment of a community, subject area or need • Community foundations tend to support broad public needs within a specific region • >500 that distributed $4.1B in 2010

  9. Corporate Giving (Non-foundation) • Support nonprofits in multiple ways, typically through marketing, public relations or advertising budgets • Do not have separate endowment: Expenses planned as part of annual budgeting process and usually funded with pre-tax income • Account for 77.5% of corporate gifts (Remaining 22.5% provided through corporate foundations) • >700 corporate giving programs in U.S.
