Funding Advocacy: The Philanthropy of Changing Minds
Grantcraft, USA, July 2005
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."
