Today, I went to a Council on Foundations meeting in San Francisco on “How to host a Summit”. You can read more about the Council on Foundations here. COF provides a lot of resources for corporate and private foundations in the United States regarding issues like event planning, governance guidelines, strategic planning, and networking. It was a valuable meeting because I observed how many other different, traditional foundations are addressing issues when it comes to planning summits and meetings for their constituents. However, I am not sure how much will apply to what we are doing with Community Giving. The seminar also reinforced that what we are doing at Mozilla, with both the Community Giving Program and the overall mission of the organizations, is truly unique and different from just about everyone else out there.
