STRATEGIC GRANTMAKING:
Foundations and the School Privatization Movementby Rick Cohen
November 2007Previous research reports by NCRP have shown how conservative foundations have used strategic grantmaking successfully to further their agenda. Strategic Grantmaking: Foundations and the School Privatization Movement asks: What have conservative foundations done with their grant dollars to promote concepts of privatizing public education through "school choice," primarily linked to school vouchers and tax credits? What were their strategies in providing resources to an array of conservative education think tanks, public policy advocates and organizers?
In this report, Rick Cohen shows how philanthropic capital from small and large foundations has helped build political support for the school privatization agenda using movement-building grantmaking strategies.
The Dyson Foundation and the Edward W. Hazen Foundation are among the funders of this project.
