As we sunset the foundation, we thought a history publication would be good for us, our grantees, and fellow funders to look back and remember the excellent work we all did together.

In advance of our sunsetting at the end of 2023, PFF has published a document outlining our history and what we’ve learned. View below, and download here. If you would like a print version of this document, please reach out to Foundation staff, or use the Contact Us page.
