Yellow Wood Associates, Inc. worked with the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation on the integration of social capital into their grant-making process. The work involved facilitating the Social Capital Multiplier Group, researching social capital applications used by other foundations, and developing and testing a social capital assessment tool. Following up on work initiated by Robert Putnam and associates at Harvard University, this project also worked with six grantees of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation to evaluate the extent to which their work contributed to creating social capital.
