Our most recent issue (Spring | Summer 2011) includes proceedings from the 2011 Brushy Fork Annual Institute. The 2011 Annual Institute focused on community foundations as a means to build capacity around resource development and addressed expectations of an impending monumental transfer of wealth over the coming years. It also provided strategies for rural communities to capture this wealth that would otherwise leave their towns, states, and region.
This issue is available for free download.
