Donations, Grants & Endowment in the US Industry Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) September 04, 2012
In the past five years, the Donations, Grants and Endowment industry has endured adverse conditions due to the economic downturn and volatility in the financial markets. In this report, revenue consists of contributions, grants, investment income and realized gains. Prior to 2008, contributions helped drive double-digit revenue growth as wealthy individuals looked into philanthropy, making significant donations to foundations and driving industry revenue. However, according to IBISWorld industry analyst Anna Son, Industry revenue was crippled as businesses and individuals curbed their giving as a result of the recession and credit crisis. Consequently, IBISWorld estimates that industry revenue will decline at an average annual rate of 4.7% to $ 80.9 billion over the five years to 2012. However, as the economy continues to recover, industry revenue is expected to rebound 3.7% in 2012.
Due to the poor financial market performance, foundations struggled to generate investment income, further hurting revenue during the recession. Additionally, grantmaking foundations’ ability to reinvest profit into their company, as profit margins plunged from about 8.2% in 2007 to 5.1% in 2012. However, after the two consecutive years of a double-digit decline, revenue for the Donations, Grants and Endowment industry surged by 18.7% in 2010. This recovery was a result of large companies beefing up their charitable giving, including Walmart, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and others. Moreover, the commitment of many foundations to maintain their grant budgets or reducing the extent of reductions relative to their assets helped offset what would have been even great declines in foundation giving since 2009. Foundations also benefited from the relatively low level of competition that they face from other organizations. While the majority of industry operators are smaller organizations, even the largest foundations focus on giving to local causes, meaning that there is space in the market for most industry operators to coexist, says Son. For example, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation gives to charities in the Northwest region, while the Lilly Endowment is a major contributor to charities and causes in Indiana; however, neither entity competes with the other. Furthermore, the myriad of charitable causes, both domestically and internationally, ensures that market participants usually find their niche.
Industry revenue is forecast to increase steadily over the next five years. During this period, demand for industry services is expected to remain stable due to charities’ and individuals’ continued reliance on foundation giving; healthcare and education will continue to benefit from the largest shares of foundation grant dollars. In 2013, foundation giving is expected to remain consistent, posting only modest growth. While many foundations will likely be able to keep their giving steady over the next year, some are expected to have to make further cuts in order to preserve profit margins. However, as businesses return to profitability and individuals’ wealth improves, they are likely to raise their charitable giving, thus boosting industry revenue. Furthermore, corporations and other for-profit groups will continue to open trusts and foundations as a way to promote a positive image of their organizations.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) August 22, 2012
The L.A. Mid-City Integrated Care Collaborative, a partnership led by Jewish Family Service of Los Angeles (JFS) to provide coordinated community-based services that will reduce avoidable hospital readmissions for Medicare patients, was selected on Friday, August 17 by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) as one of 17 additional sites across the nation to participate in the Community-based Care Transitions Program (CCTP).
CCTP reflects a new, innovative approach to health care delivery. The program identifies community-based organizations such as JFS that can provide care transitions services across the continuum of care and partner with one or more acute care hospitals and other community providers. The L.A. Mid-City Integrated Care Collaborative includes hospitals, medical personnel, social workers, mental health professionals, and senior care specialists that will be able to provide better, more sustainable health care services all at a lower cost to the health care system.
Recent reports show that $ 12 billion is being spent annually on hospital readmissions for Medicare patients that might be preventable, said Paul S. Castro, CEO of Jewish Family Service of Los Angeles. By bringing together providers from across the care spectrum, older adults with complex medical and social service needs will receive the follow-up care and resources they need and will spend less time hospitalized unnecessarily.
Congressman Henry Waxman stated: I am delighted that the Los Angeles Mid-City Integrated Care Collaborative has been selected as a Community-based Care Transitions Program (CCTP) by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). This partnership, led by Jewish Family Service of Los Angeles, will take a new approach to reducing hospital readmissions, improving care and reducing costs. The partnership is the only collaborative selected in Los Angeles County and is among just a handful of collaboratives selected nationwide. I am particularly proud of this remarkable grouping of partners for the highly innovative and effective services they provide the residents of LA County.
With new tools provided by the Affordable Care Act, we can aggressively implement programs that will help hospitals reduce preventable errors, said Herb K. Schultz, Regional Director for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The L.A. Mid-City Integrated Care Collaborative, through this initiative, will improve the quality of health care, and provide real assistance to medical professionals and hospitals to support their efforts to reduce harm.
We know that providing medical care for our patients does not end at our front door, said Andrew B. Leeka, president and CEO of Good Samaritan Hospital. The L.A. Mid-City Collaborative will bring additional resources to Medicare patients with chronic conditions, to help them receive the care they need.
Cathy Fickes, CEO of St Vincent Medical Center, said SVMC is delighted to be part of the Collaborative. The program will help reduce readmissions rates and provide continuity of care for our patients into their homes.
The L.A. Mid-City Integrated Care Collaborative was formed by Jewish Family Service of Los Angeles in partnership with Good Samaritan Hospital, St. Vincent Medical Center and Olympia Medical Center. In addition, the L.A. Mid-City Integrated Care Collaborative includes 14 skilled nursing facilities and rehabilitation centers affiliated with Skilled Healthcare LLC and Country Villa Health Services, along with community-based organizations serving older adults in the Mid-City area (the Alzheimers Association, Hollywood Senior Multipurpose Center, St. Barnabas Senior Services, the KHEIR Center, and St. Vincent Meals on Wheels) and the Los Angeles City Department of Aging, and the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health. The organizations chosen for the L.A. Mid-City Integrated Care Collaborative have a long history of providing a continuum of home, community and institutional based care to older adults in Los Angeles in a contiguous section of the diverse metropolitan area.
The L.A. Mid-City Integrated Care Collaborative will begin providing transition services in Fall 2012, serving Medicare beneficiaries living in the Mid-City area of Los Angeles, stretching from downtown west to the 405 Freeway and from Hollywood south to the 10 Freeway. Geographically spanning the most dynamic, multicultural and densely-populated districts of Los Angeles, services will be provided in English, Spanish, Russian, Korean, and Farsi in a community that struggles with issues of poverty, immigrant integration and high hospital readmission rates.

Question by Information Police: Why do Cons keep asking if health care is right – where do they think rights come from?
Cons, do you think that the guaranteeing of rights ended in 1789? This is a democracy OF the people and FOR the people. If we decide there is a new right we want the government to guarantee for us, then that is the will of the governed.
Why do you have a problem with this concept?
Best answer:
Answer by Unka Dano
Let me tell you all of a hard reality. Our present health care system has some serious flaws. For instance, when you hear of a senior that committed suicide due to poor health, they more than likely did it due to lack of insurance.
Seniors in that boat could wipe out their savings to live a few years longer, but doing that would leave their spouse financially destitute. So they’re left with three choices. They can either sit back and let nature take her agonizing course, or make their spouse financially destitute, or they can put a gun to their head. Such a scenario happens everyday.
Welcome to America’s health care nightmare. Pray you don’t end up in that situation.
Here is another American medical nightmare. It’s a medical insurance practice called “Patient dumping”. We all better pray we don’t end up in this situation either.
