The Institute will take place on May 7-9, 2018 in Sacramento, CA.

Imagine the kind of transformative change we could achieve if every philanthropist applied an advocacy lens to their giving.
The Women’s Foundation of California is excited to announce that applications are now open for the second annual Philanthropy and Public Policy Institute (PPPI). Philanthropy California is a proud partner of the upcoming Institute.
Built on the success of the Foundation’s flagship Women’s Policy Institute (WPI), PPPI is a three-day intensive training for philanthropic leaders of all gender identities who want to strengthen their understanding of the most effective ways to fund policy advocacy.
Like the Women's Policy Institute, the PPPI is founded on our belief in the value and importance of experiential learning. Trainings will cover: State and County Public Policy 101, Lobbying Rules for Nonprofits and Foundations, the Impacts of Politics on State and County Policy, Public Speaking and Persuasive Writing in Op-Eds and Evaluating Public Policy Advocacy Funding.
PPPI is a unique opportunity for funders to engage with California’s most prominent leaders working for progressive policy change, including 2018 PPPI Chair State Senator Holly J. Mitchell.
