Philanthropic foundations are playing an increasingly prominent role in advancing social causes, policy initiatives, social programs, and political movements dear to the heart of the elite funding class. Ten critical essays presented by Faber (sociology, Northeastern U.) and McCarthy (sociology, College of Charleston) analyze the way these foundations exert power in society and consider why they fail to effectively address America's social and environmental problems in spite of frequent proclamations that such is their goal. Overviews are provided of liberal and conservative foundations, and the activities of foundations in the realms of environmental justice, racial politics, and poverty are examined.
