Rockefeller Foundation Gives $2 Million to Help Cities Promote Volunteerism

"During difficult economic times, when it is important for communities to pull
together, the Rockefeller Foundation is proud to help America's mayors bring
President Obama's call to service to their own cities," said Rockefeller
Foundation President Judith Rodin. "As president of the University of
Pennsylvania, I saw how a local institution's commitment to civic engagement
can save a neighborhood. With the Rockefeller Foundation's support, Cities of
Service will help local leaders across the country tap into similar engines of
expertise, opportunity, and economic expansion."
