Fast Action in the Short Term
Advocating for social change can be a fluid and forceful endeavor. The flexibility of The Advocacy Fund allows organizations and coalitions of activists and donors to ramp up and down efficiently in response to legislative agendas.
A Testing Ground
The Advocacy Fund’s unique project sponsorship program provides a home for start-up endeavors that permits the exploration and testing of ideas before committing to the creation of new organizational structures.
Collaborations for Change
The Advocacy Fund provides a structure for multiple individuals or organizations with one vision to have collaborative impact. Collective giving lets you quickly support an issue of interest or an urgent need in response to current events.
Expertise
Even active and highly knowledgeable donors will occasionally come across a program or project about which they’d like to know more before committing significant funds. The Advocacy Fund staff can undertake analysis and evaluation specifically tailored to a donor’s needs.
Fund Benefits
Donors often face the difficult decision about how to manage their relationships with groups they support. At times anonymity can be crucial to maintaining professional and personal relationships. Through The Advocacy Fund, you can remain anonymous much like you can in charitable giving.
Grant Tracking Accountability
There is no deductibility for advocacy grants, however it is still wise to track your giving to understand your relationship is with different groups, to see the patterns in your giving, and to manage a budget. A donor account with The Advocacy Fund lets you accomplish this.
