Combining Philanthropy with Communication Inherent in the working philosophy of The Abell Foundation is the strong belief that a community faced with complicated and seemingly intractable challenges is well served by research-based information. To that end, the Foundation, combining philanthropy with communication, continues to publish background studies of selected issues on the public agenda. In each case, experts have been retained to research and write, and the Foundation has distributed their findings in print and on the Internet, targeting elected officials, leaders in business, industry and academia, and the citizenry. The following is a listing of our eight most current publications. Be sure to visit the Research Library for more titles.  Growing! Growing! Gone!
