for support of merger and strategic plan
Former Members of Congress (FMC) is a 52-year-old nonprofit working to strengthen Congress in the conduct of its Constitutional responsibilities. FMC seeks to deepen the understanding of our democratic system, domestically and internationally, and to engage the citizenry through civic education about Congress and public service. It does this largely by involving former members of Congress and current and former staff in its programs. It plans to use this grant to update its 2017 strategic plan, which resulted in significant growth in revenue and staff, to anticipate and prepare for future growth, including a merger with another Congressionally focused nonprofit organization.
