The objective of this five-year learning process was to enable the national funders (Charles S. Mott and Ford Foundations) and community and local foundations participating in the program to support neighborhood projects to improve relations between recent immigrants and longtime residents in six metropolitan areas. It was established several months later after the establishment of the Initiative to Strengthen Neighborhood Intergroup Assets and built on the lessons learned from the Initiative. Community Science provided technical assistance, conference planning, and Web-based resources, and conducted the evaluation of these efforts. We produced several short reports and a documentary with an accompanying booklet about the role of community foundations in strengthening intergroup relations. (Go to the CF/IR Program.)
