The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation 2006 Annual Report

by The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation

This report summarizes the objectives and results of The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation's grantmaking in 2006 and presents statements of the Foundation's year-end financial position, prepared in an independent audit by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. An essay by President Paul Brest explains how philanthropists would benefit from the development of an online "marketplace" of information to help them make more informed decisions about which organizations to support.

The Foundation makes grants to support educational and cultural institutions and to help solve serious social and environmental problems. It has grantmaking programs in education, the environment, global development, performing arts, philanthropy, and population; it also makes grants to aid disadvantaged communities in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Since 1967, the Hewlett Foundation has extended over $2.2 billion to thousands of organizations in the Bay Area, across the United States, and around the world. In 2006, the Foundation awarded $292,040,335 in grants and disbursed $211,762,058 in grant and gift payments.
