Book excerpt: "A new report examines how leading community foundations are embracing an anchor mission to build stronger local economies and invest more resources in the communities they serve.

With many of these communities in both rural and urban areas struggling with deeply entrenched economic problems like inequality and unemployment, the case becomes clear for community foundations to take up the "anchor mission": recognizing the impact they can have as engines of community economic development and local mission-driven investment"--source of summary not specified.
