GEOList Summary: Establishing Public-Private Partnerships

We are interested in learning from other foundations that have created or participated in public/private partnerships. A family foundation, the Memorial Fund is working with state agencies and local communities interested in developing a permanent vehicle for public and private support of early childhood planning, coordination, capacity building, training, quality improvements and other efforts. We are particularly interested in the structure or agreements used to establish a public/private partnership, governance issues, and lessons learned
