SUMMARY:Advocacy and Grantmaking – Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Join Forefront and the Alliance for Justice’s Bolder Advocacy program for the second of a two-part advocacy training for foundations with an introduction from the MacArthur Foundation.  The coronavirus pandemic and resulting economic crisis has thrown enormous challenges in front of the nonprofit sector. Our communities are facing unprecedented needs with record unemployment\, school closures\, evictions\, and lack of access to medical care. \nIn response\, organizations and communities are pushing for additional stimulus funding\, changes in the charitable deduction\, release of incarcerated people from prisons and immigrant detention facilities\, moratoriums on evictions\, and so much more. In addition\, with the national elections only months away\, groups are implementing their traditional voter and candidate engagement work\, but also fighting to ensure fair and safe elections and voting methods. Grantmakers can and should support these efforts. \nThis 90-minute training for grantmakers will address how foundations can best build the advocacy capacity of their grantees and use their own voices as advocates. During this session\, we will explore how private and community foundations can advocate themselves and highlight the many roles foundations can play along the advocacy continuum. We will also discuss how foundations—and their staff and trustees—can interact with candidates for public office\, support civic engagement activities like election protection and voter registration and GOTV drives\, and share issue-specific information.
