Alliance Webinar: Leveraging Limited Dollars by Funding Policy and Community Engagement

The Alliance for Children and Families and United Neighborhood Centers of America offered a new webinar March 2 from 1-2 p.m.

This free webinar discussed a recent report from the National Committee for Responsible Philanthropy (NCRP). The report provides solid evidence of the impact of foundation-funded policy advocacy, community organizing, and civic engagement.

The document provides profiles of many grantmakers who currently fund these types of strategies, and it offers suggestions for funders who want to start leveraging their grant dollars for maximum results.
