About this title

Synopsis

Ruth Chance was a witness to the 20th Century. For seventeen tumultous years of the 1960s and 70s, she led the Rosenberg Foundation of San Francisco in making grants to California's disenfranchised farmworkers, minority groups, and children -- many of whom were incarcerated.

Much Remains to Be Done is a tribute to the wit and wisdom of Ruth Chance and a user-friendly guide to progressive philanthropy.

... fitting reflection of a special woman ... and a foundation going beyond technicalities ... belongs on shelves of grantmakers ... -- Richard Magat

... philanthropies need to heed Ruth ... She stayed the course, and children gained. -- Margaret E. Mahoney
