How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Donor Collaborative Model for Civic Integrationmethodology: donor_collaborative_state_level_integrationBy channeling resources through donor collaboratives at the state level, we amplify impact on immigrant civic integration because coordinated funding increases strategic alignment and reduces duplication among grantees.
- Leveraged Challenge Grants in Humanities Researchmethodology: challenge_grants_for_humanities_researchBy using challenge grants that require matching funds, we advance humanities research because the requirement of institutional co-investment ensures sustained commitment and multiplies the impact of our grants.
- Strengthening Local Journalism to Support Democracymethodology: strengthen_local_journalism_for_democracyBy investing in national initiatives that rebuild local journalism, we strengthen democratic discourse because reliable local news fosters informed civic participation and community accountability.
