Alexis Institute for Civil Society and Philanthropy
The Foundation Center launched the Alexis Institute for Civil Society and Philanthropy to focus on the rapidly evolving world of philanthropy and civil society in the United States and abroad. Lester M. Salamon, professor and director of the Center for Civil Society Studies at Johns Hopkins University, is founding director. Foundation Center President Sara L. Engelhardt said the institute, named after Alexis de Tocqueville, is key to transforming the Foundation Center from “the preeminent information resource on U.S. foundations and their grantmaking into a knowledge center on the broader field of philanthropy and civil society worldwide.” For more information, visit
