Private Funding for Public Works

Newsday via COF Listserv:

The state Department of Public Health has created a special nonprofit foundation to tap into private funding for public projects. The purpose of the Public Health Foundation of Connecticut, according to its mission statement, "is to solicit, receive and distribute private funds for charitable, scientific and health initiatives that improve or bolster the state Department of Public Health."

Could we take this farther with philanthropic funding for, say, Operation Iraqui Freedom?

I am sorry. I am just a guy writing about philanthropy. Generally speaking grants from foundations to individuals are hard to get. Wish I could be more helpful.
