allegedly refused Mosley’s request to delete the photo.
Mosley led a suit claiming sexual harassment.
The city led a motion for summary judgment,
arguing that the sexual materials were not directed at
Mosley because most of them were present in the ofce
long before she began working there.
EMPLOYEE WINS ➔ However, District Judge
Philip Frazier ruled that a jury could reasonably nd
that the mere presence of the materials in the ofce
reected a general hostility toward women, and also
that Young’s refusal to remove them upon request could
be considered discriminatory. Additionally, he noted
Mosley’s testimony that Young had repeatedly called
her a “bitch,” which he ruled was itself gender-specic
and evidence of sexual harassment.
He denied the city’s motion.

Report identies strategies
of successful small foundations
Small-staffed foundations are using a variety of
strategies to make their grant dollars go further, ac-
cording to Exponent Philanthropy’s latest Foundation
Operations and Management Report.
After analyzing reams of data on grantmaking,
governance, investments and administration, the
report identies seven grantmaking strategies that
lead to outsized impact among member foundations:
• Making general operating support grants.
• Making multiyear grants.
• Using information received from grantees to
inform grantmaking.
• Collaborating with other funders to increase
impact.
• Making capacity-building grants.
• Convening grantees or organizations.
• Making grants for advocacy work.
About 85 percent of foundations polled for the
report said they engage in two or more of these strate-
gies to help them achieve outsized impact, Exponent
Philanthropy said.

Study projects over 4% growth
in 2016, 2017 donations
Charitable giving in the United States is expected
to grow by 4.1 percent in 2016 and by an additional
4.3 percent in 2017, according to The Philanthropy
Outlook 2016 & 2017, released recently by the Indiana
University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy.
The report projects that the changes in total giving
for each of those years will exceed the 5-year, 10-year
and 25-year annualized average rates of growth in
total giving, and will be just slightly below the 40-year
average growth rate of 4.4 percent.
Giving by all source types is expected to rise in
2016 and 2017, the report projects. In each of the
two years, growth in giving by foundations will be
the largest, followed by growth in giving by estates
and corporations. Giving by individuals/households
will rise more modestly, reecting the unevenness of
economic trends that shape households’ giving, the
report said.
