On this episode we explore ways foundations can support civic engagement projects, including lobbying. Many listeners may be familiar with general operating grants, but today we're joined by an expert to share with us a secret weapon called the project grant rule, what it is, how it works, and who can benefit. It is our honor to be joined by Abby Levine who is associate general counsel for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. If Abby's name sounds familiar, she was Bolder Advocacy's Director for over a decade, and we are thrilled she's agreed to join us. 1. What is unique about project grants? 2.
