Nine Steps to Advocacy Evaluation with a Social Justice Lens
Many organizations are using advocacy strategies to meet their missions. Just like any other work that foundations and nonprofits engage in, advocacy needs to be continually assessed, tweaked and strengthened through a process of evaluation and learning. In the past, advocacy work was considered too difficult to evaluate. However, an ever expanding body of research and experience demonstrates several approaches that are effective when evaluating advocacy.

This webinar offers an introduction to advocacy evaluation through a nine-step process based on Innovation Network's Pathfinder series.

Innovation Network will describe this tool and demonstrate its application for funders, nonprofits and evaluators. NCRP will highlight research and other tools that can help inform advocacy evaluation and bring a social justice lens to the process.

Fusing Justice and Strategy for Real Results
In recent years, an increasing number of grantmakers have adopted the practice of “strategic philanthropy.” While this movement has contributed to effectiveness, is it limiting philanthropy’s potential impact? Find answers to this question and more at NCRP’s next “Pulse webinar” featuring internationally-recognized expert on targeted universalism and civil rights and liberties, Prof. john a. powell.

NCRP’s recent publication, Real Results: Why Strategic Philanthropy is Social Justice Philanthropy contends that a social justice lens provides a much-needed correction to the often technocratic and top-down approaches of our sector. Based on findings from the four reports under NCRP’s High Impact Strategies for Philanthropy series, Real Results contends that, at their best, social justice philanthropy and strategic philanthropy are, in fact, the same. How do we define strategic philanthropy? How do we ensure that the most underserved among us benefit from philanthropy? Why is funding advocacy and community organizing essential to long-term change and systemic reform? Join Prof. john a. powell and NCRP’s Niki Jagpal as they discuss how to infuse justice into philanthropic strategy with better outcomes for the communities we seek to serve and our democracy.

Presenters:

  • Prof. john a. powell, Professor of Law; Professor of African American Studies and Ethnic Studies; Robert D. Haas Chancellor's Chair in Equity and Inclusion; Director, Haas Diversity Research Center

  • Niki Jagpal, Research and Policy Director, NCRP

Cutting the Strings: The State of General Operating and Multi-Year Support
Tune in to NCRP's next "Pulse webinar" as we discuss the most pressing issues that grantmakers and nonprofits face in our challenging economic climate.

  • Only one in six grant dollars is for general operating support.

  • Only one in ten funders reports any multi-year grantmaking.

These findings from NCRP's recent "The Philanthropic Landscape" series confirm what nonprofits have known for years: Despite the benefits of general operating and multi-year grantmaking, long-term, flexible foundation funding can be incredibly difficult to find. Why is that? Why haven't these statistics moved much in a decade of nonprofit and association advocacy? What can be done to encourage grantmaking that builds organizations and not just programs?

Join Grantmakers for Effective Organizations' J McCray, author of Is Grantmaking Getting Smarter?, and NCRP's Kevin Laskowski as they discuss the most recent trends in effective grantmaking and what we all can do to encourage funding with lasting impact.

Featuring:

  • J McCray, Chief Operating Officer, Grantmakers for Effective Organizations
