GrantCraft has released a new guide called Funding Community Organizing: Social Change through Civic Participation. The guide gives an overview of community organizing and successful examples in different fields and communities, and also addresses the demands of supporting community organizing. Grantmakers interested in promoting civic engagement, finding lasting solutions to social problems, and engaging those most affected will find this guide useful.
Another guide recently published by GrantCraft is Advocacy Funding: The Philanthropy of Changing Minds. This guide covers deciding whether to act yourself or fund others, understanding the legal procedures and potential pitfalls, and collaborating in the right way with the right partners. This is great resource for grantmakers that are interested in advocacy and want to learn more about improving public policy.
