Funding Advocacy: The Philanthropy of Changing Minds

Grantcraft,
20 July 2005, USA

GrantCraft, a project of the Ford Foundation, has released a new publication entitled Funding Advocacy: The Philanthropy of Changing Minds. The guide contains information on:

Advocacy and the law: what’s permissible for foundations;

Working with grantees who lobby;

Building a case, cultivating a constituency; and

Preparing for opposition. "Grant makers tend to be cautious about funding advocacy, and for good reason — yet advocacy can play a crucial role in advancing a foundation’s mission. In this guide, contributors explain that “advocacy” includes a lot of opportunities to improve public policy through work that is well within the limits of the law. Whether your purpose is to advance an idea, argue a position, or enrich the policy debate, the guide offers resources and strategies for planning your work, reaching your audience, evaluating impact, and more."
