Publishing a Collection of Case Studies Documenting Aspects of the Trump Foundation's Work in its First Five Years
Two years ago, the foundation began preparing for its end-to-end mid-term review. We embarked on a documentation project to examine various aspects of our work, and commissioned seven case studies to experts who gathered data, conducted interviews and formulated narrative and analysis reports. These reports set the basis for a comprehensive review, which was conducted by the foundation’s Advisory Council in 2016.
The set of documentary cases addressed the foundation’s contribution to the national transformation in excellence; its clinical teaching strategy; and interactions with its partners. They explored its approach to working with government and public systems; its use of social media to engage the public; and its attempt to encourage excellence in an Israeli DIY culture of short cuts and fast wins.
In order to complete the documentation of the foundation’s core activities and disseminate the findings to the general public and professional community, we are now proposing to:
We approached several publishers and are in favor of working with RESLING, a well-known Israeli academic publishing house. They are interested in publishing the collection of articles in Hebrew under the working title: “Strategic Philanthropy in Israel”. RESLING will distribute and market the book in university libraries and bookshops. Later on and if successful, we will look into the possibility of publishing it in English with an academic publishing house abroad.
