As a community of grantmakers, we uphold eight governance principles that seek to maximize private philanthropic money for the public good. It is our hope that these principles will inspire all grantmakers to pursue new levels of effectiveness in their work. 

This report documents the experiences, successes and lessons learned during the Learning and Action Agenda Project, an effort to provide local grantmakers with information and strategies around issues of importance to the Casey Foundation —particularly around the Foundation’s Family Economic Success framework — and to motivate them to take action on those issues within their own communities and networks.
