A key barrier to advancing transformational reform in our food and ag systems has been a lack of awareness about what private foundations are allowed to do and fund under Internal Revenue Service guidelines in regards to policy work. In this webinar, we will provide critical context and resources for funders to better understand ways to engage in policy work, both C3 and C4 strategies, as well as explore case studies of how different funders and peers have been able to employ these strategies to win. We know, from evidence, that when foundations invest in advancing policy change, their money has a large-scale impact on individuals and communities. Grants of any size, combined with targeted investments of time, effort, and collaboration at just the right moment, can yield investments in the hundreds of thousands or hundreds of millions of dollars.

Speakers: This session will be led by the Alliance For Justice and Bolder Advocacy, as well as feature speakers from key case studies (To be announced)
