Overview
This renewal grant would provide unrestricted funds for Bread for the World Institute's work, including its policy analysis and faith-based advocacy for more and better U.S. development assistance, U.S. leadership to strengthen agriculture and nutrition in poor countries, and the reform of U.S. food and farm policies. The Institute engages diverse church groups across the United States on public policy issues that are important to poor people. Bread for the World's ambitious Offering of Letters, which mobilizes religious congregations throughout the country, will focus in 2011 on foreign assistance reform. Supported by a previous Hewlett Foundation grant, the Institute also continues to host the Modernizing Foreign Assistance Network, a coalition of think tanks and advocacy organizations committed to improving the effectiveness of U.S. development aid.

Grants to this Grantee
for support of the Modernizing Foreign Assistance Network
The Modernizing Foreign Assistance Network (MFAN), with Bread for the World Institute as the fiscal sponsor, has been a key voice since 2007 for foreign assistance and global development policy reform among policymakers, thought leaders, and the development stakeholder community. This project grant will support MFAN as it transitions over the coming months to a coalition focused specifically on policy reforms to strengthen transparency and accountability and to ensure that the aid is more responsive to the people and governments of developing countries.
for support of the Modernizing Foreign Assistance Network
Bread for the World Institute is the fiscal sponsor of the Modernizing Foreign Assistance Network (MFAN), a group of think tanks, advocacy organizations, and development experts committed to making U.S. development assistance more effective, more accountable and more responsive to local needs and priorities. During the next eighteen months, MFAN will continue its efforts to hold policymakers accountable for implementing promised reforms, and will develop priority policy recommendations to inform future reform efforts. This grant also includes activities after the first quarter of 2013 that may lead to a restructuring or phaseout of MFAN.
