Prepared by the Human Interaction Research Institute based on a two-year study supported by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, this report describes 19 peer networking activities in which Casey was a promoter, a participant or both. The report focuses on how the activities support the Foundation's interests in community change and improving philanthropic practice. Results include both good practices and challenges of peer networking, and how these might be applied by Casey and other grantmakers.
