Grantmakers Information Technology Survey Report 

IV. Snapshots by Foundation Type 

B. Corporate Grantmakers Snapshot

There were 22 corporate grantmakers in this snapshot (Table A 1). For purposes of 

reporting the survey results, we have joined together corporate foundations (15), direct 

corporate giving programs (4) and combined programs (3). 

Forty one percent of corporate grantmakers reported have in house technical support, 

which is higher than the percentage of community foundations reporting in house 

technical support. An additional 23 percent reported that the finance/administrative staff 

is responsible for technology (Table A 2). Differing from all other scenarios, corporate 

foundations reported a fairly large percentage of  other  being responsible for 

technology.

* n = number of respondents 

The primary role and responsibility of the information technology director was network 

administration. Unlike all other foundation types, most corporate grantmakers did not 

indicate that technology staff had other roles and responsibilities.
