A Funder Phone Briefing & FCCP's January First Monday Call

Civic engagement is the cornerstone of social progress and democracy. Yet, outdated rules around lobbying and nonpartisan voter engagement continue to stymie civic participation by foundations and charities alike. Threats and opportunities at the national level will help to define the rules and culture of civic engagement for years to come. Join us on January 11th for FCCP's first monthly call of 2010 to learn how philanthropy can strengthen nonprofit advocacy rights and create high-impact nonprofits.

• Larry Ottinger, Board Chair, Ottinger Foundation(also President, Center for Lobbying in the Public Interest)

  • Leslie R. Crutchfield, Author, Forces for Good: The Six Practices of High-Impact Philanthropy
