The philanthropic world is also facing major demographic changes with an increase in human need, a generational transfer of wealth and new trends in youth volunteering. These realities are creating a transformation in how foundations conduct business. These new directions include more collaborations with other foundations and entities, greater activity in the policy arena, and a move to more entrepreneurial giving 's8212; a philosophy of investing rather than just contributing.
