«Donor - advised funds that are sponsored
by a
community foundation
tend to have a more singular focus and they're on the
local pulse of charitable activity,» said Gavin Morrissey, managing partner at Financial Strategy Associates in Needham, Massachusetts.
A decade later, a study of Episcopal churches
by Wade Clark Roof showed that church people
tend to be divided into two groups: the «
locals» who prefer to live in small
communities, get their satisfaction from relating closely to families and to friends, and belong to
local groups; and the «cosmopolitans» who prefer living in large cities, get their satisfaction from dealing with ideas and international issues, and belong to large state or nationwide organizations.
In fact, buttressed
by the support of the business
community and many
local and regional newspapers (who are even more distant from the realities of schooling than state policymakers), SED officials have
tended to characterize those who question their initiatives as «whiners and complainers.»
