PHILANTHROPY NEWS DIGEST
Each of the finalists will receive a $20,000 grant from
the Ford Foundation in order to help replicate its program
in other areas, and a chance to compete for another grant
of $80,000. Among their achievements, this year's
finalists have found sound growth alternatives to urban
sprawl, pursued better ways to manage tough inmate
populations, encouraged commuters to reduce traffic
congestion and air pollution, and improved the lives of
neglected and abused children.
Sponsored by the Ford Foundation, and administered by
Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government
in partnership with the
Council for Excellence in Government, the Innovations program works
to bring public recognition to the quality and
responsiveness of American government and to help foster
the replication of programs that work.
The 2000 winners of the Innovations in American Government
Awards Program will be announced on October 12 and each
will receive a $100,000 grant from the Ford Foundation.
FCnote: The Ford Foundation (NY) had assets of $11,938,709,000 and made grants totaling $511,825,000 in the fiscal year ending 9/30/99
