Anthony, Carl
The Asset Building and Community Development Program was established in October 1996 as part of a Foundation-wide program reorganization. The new program supported the work of a range of groups and individuals seeking to build the assets and capacities of poor communities through community-based activities, research, policy analysis, and advocacy. The Assets Program had three program units: Economic Development; Community and Resource Development (CRD); and Human Development and Reproductive Health. Carl Anthony joined the Ford Foundation as a Program Officer within the Assets Program's CRD Unit in 2001. In 2003, he became Deputy Director of Community and Resource Development and in 2004, Acting Director. As Program Officer, Anthony directed the Sustainable Metropolitan Communities Initiative (SMCI), the Foundation's grantmaking portfolio in equitable and sustainable community development. He also participated in making substantial cross-portfolio investments in Regional Equity Demonstrations (REDs, singular RED). The Office Files of Carl Anthony span in date from 1999 to 2006 and primarily document his work as Program Officer. The bulk of the collection consists of grantee files, primarily of SMCI and RED grant recipients. These files contain correspondence, project updates, conference materials, products of Ford-funded research, and background information about grantees and projects. The collection also contains files on trips, conferences and meetings Anthony attended in his capacity as Program Officer and Acting Director.
