The 2003-2004 Foundation for Child Development Annual Report, Talking the Walk, is the second in our series highlighting a key dimension of our mission: to understand children, particularly the disadvantaged, and to promote their well-being. The Board of Directors advocates communications as a core strategy for advancing this mission. Through our communications activities, we believe we will strengthen the political will necessary to bring about social change for children and families.
The essay in this Annual Report discusses the state of strategic communications in philanthropy. The author, Patricia Edmonds, stresses the need for foundations to change their communications efforts to make strategic communications an effective tool for social change.
