The Catalytic Philanthropy Podcast
Business:Non-Profit
The David and Lura Lovell Foundation supports its nonprofit grantees to engage in a wide range of issue advocacy activities. Through this support, the foundation acts on its mission to help its partners achieve wins that not only alleviate issues but may actually solve persistent or urgent social problems. Among the successes of its grantee partners is the passing of two bipartisan federal bills that protect survivors of sexual misconduct from being silenced. In this Podcast, foundation Executive Director John Amoroso offers a step-by-step guide to funding issue advocacy. The process begins by educating your board and staff about the legal safe space to fund advocacy, with the help of expert legal counsel. Once you know the parameters, engage your grantees in conversations to learn how you can help advance their advocacy work. Then begin supporting them. John emphasizes how any foundation can fund this game-changing work.
