ASF member Barbara Harman and the Harman Family Foundation are demonstrating the power of small-staff philanthropy to lead—and they’ve been doing so for at least the past decade.
Barbara is editor of the award-winning Catalogue for Philanthropy: Greater Washington, which celebrates its 10th year in 2013. When I spoke with her last month as part of ASF’s interview series with philanthropic thought leaders, we talked about her role in creating and championing the Catalogue.
Published with lead funding from the Harman Family Foundation and support from its partners, the Catalogue spotlights the “landscape below the landscape,” according to Barbara, or originally the region’s community-based arts organizations.
How does Barbara—a former English professor at Wellesley College—describe her leadership role in creating the Catalogue? Accidental.
