A balanced crew: Why discussions about foundations' governance and leadership must not forget about the non‐profits.

This response to Ahmad and von Schnurbein's article argues that strategies for strengthening grant‐making foundations can be expanded through an examination of the relationship between foundations and non‐profits, in particular the power balance between them. It offers a preliminary discussion of the consequences of an imbalance of power for both foundation and non‐profit and the related role of communication both between them and within the organisations. It subsequently focusses on the need for more support for balanced relationships between foundations and non‐profits from the leadership of foundations and the wider sector. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
