Advocacy & Lobbying: How Foundations Can Change Public Policy
Private foundations have long been active in changing public policy to champion their missions and support the greater good. The return on investment in policy work can be huge and long-lasting. Grantmakers in the Arts supports this kind of work through the Arts Education Funders Coalition with a goal of enhancing the arts in federal education policy. Janet Brown, President and CEO of GIA, will present this session on the importance of policy development and the difference between advocacy and direct lobbying.
Janet Brown, president & CEO at GIA, is a nationally known consultant, speaker and teacher. Until recently, she was an adjunct faculty member at Goucher College, Baltimore, MD teaching Public Policy and the Arts. She's served on many local and national boards of directors including Americans for the Arts and the American Folklife Center and has been a panelist and site evaluator for the National Endowment for the Arts and several state arts agencies.
