Foundations Can Rewrite History by Focusing on the States

Publication date: 
03/2014
This Nonprofit Quarterly article makes the case for foundations focusing on public policy at a state, rather than federal, level. "Like Robert Frost nearly a century ago, today’s foundation leaders stand where two roads diverge. They can continue down the usual road of fixating solely on federal policy debates, such as the one over the charitable deduction. Or they can take the road “less traveled by” to where the real action is: the states. If they choose the latter, then years from now they too can look back with Frost’s sigh of satisfaction because that choice will have “made all the...

An Equitable Re-Imagination: Keynote Address from Dr. Manuel Pastor

Rather than consider an equitable recovery, which implies a return to what once was, let us consider an equitable re-imagination, disruption, and restructure of what is possible to build a collective better future. Dr. Manuel Pastor will share why and how this can be done with a community-centered approach and argues why movement-building needs to be at the core of our focus. Join us for what promises to be an engaging and thought-provoking keynote.

Resources for Making it Count: Philanthropy and the 2020 Census

Publication date: 
02/2019

The state has allocated an unprecedented $90.3 million to support the census, but will it be enough to make sure that all California residents—including the 75 percent who are in historically undercounted groups—are counted? With $60 million in state dollars allocated for outreach by counties and community-based organizations, what do funders need to know about the efforts...
