“It followed my belief that the best answers for community problems come from the people who have a vested interest in those communities, the people who live there.” — Philanthropist Barbara Meyer of Atlanta, Georgia, on why she is transferring the assets of her family foundation to a fund created by the foundation's grant recipients. ( Atlanta Journal-Constitution 10/8/2000)
