First and foremost, NCRP would like to thank the funders, grantees and leaders who shared their stories during interviews and in focus groups. We would also like to thank the hosts of our focus groups for sharing their space and their convening power: Black Belt Community Foundation, Southern Partners Fund, Foundation for Appalachian Kentucky and Coastal Community Foundation.
Special thanks to our advisory committee members (see list below) who shared their time and perspective; Gita Gulati-Partee of OpenSource Leadership Strategies who provided valuable guidance throughout the research process; and Chris Kromm and Allie Yee at the Institute for Southern Studies who provided additional research and data for this project.
We are also grateful to The Educational Foundation of America, The Kresge Foundation and the Mary Reynolds Babcock Foundation for their funding and support of this project.
