At Infrastructures for the Future, a new gathering to fortify and expand the ecosystem of philanthropy support organisations, attendees asked themselves how to support community foundations. The Lab focused on the role of community foundations as knowledge infrastructure for local community sustainability, by exploring how CFs and foundations engage with the SDGs in Australia, Brazil, Chile, Kenya, New Zealand, Romania, and the US. Eleanor Cater, New ZealandFor community foundations, the SDGS give us our ‘why’—without them, it can be like the wild west out there! An insightful moment in our discussions centred on realising the importance of a ‘research mindset’ that could support community foundations and community foundation support organisations in their practice. Innovation in community foundations and other grantmakers’ ability to work with knowledge capital is essential for strengthening the resilience and sustainability of local communities.
