A Note on the Chronicle’s Article on Dissonance and Disconnects

On the day the report was released, the Chronicle of Philanthropy issued a report entitled “Half of Young Foundation Leaders Don’t Think Their Group’s Work Is Relevant.” Unfortunately, this headline reflected the mislabeled data point in exhibit 9, described above. According to our data, as described correctly in Exhibit 4 (p.8), 74 percent of respondents agree or strongly agree that their institution’s work is relevant to what’s happening in the world today. The Chronicle has been notified of the error and issued a correction on September 26th, 2018. We take full responsibility for this error and apologize for not having detected it sooner. All other data points appearing in the Chronicle article are correct.
