After The Flood: Some “Out Of The Box” Options For Foundations
June 2010
Steven E. Mayer, Ph.D., Director Effective Communities, LLC
“After the Flood,” written in the days after Katrina struck, conveys important messages still relevant to philanthropy in the wake of the Gulf oil leak. Especially timely is the call to include regional and local community groups, activist networks, and civic associations—the muscle, minds, and spirit of the Gulf Coast—in the action and service needed now to stem the oil tide, from clean-up to short- and long-term policy development.

Fearless Journeys: Innovation in Five American Orchestras
May 2010
Lela Tepavac, Ph.D. Edited by Catherine Marciariello
Fearless Journeys is a first-of-its-kind case study about innovation in orchestras. The five stories featured in the book are only a few examples of how the orchestra field is testing important new approaches to administrative/artistic organization, community partnerships, and artistic initiatives. The Conclusion focuses on the factors that have enabled innovation in all five orchestras in the study. This is critical knowledge that orchestras can use. As important, the book serves as hard evidence that, even in these challenging times, the field is taking risks and discovering ways to become increasingly resilient.
