Overview
Through a fiscal sponsor, this grant would provide support to Advocates for Development Assistance, a small organization focused on increasing support for aid from the U.S. government, and fostering improvements in the targeting and use of that aid. The work that would be supported, which complements existing grants related to the Modernizing Foreign Assistance Network, would use social mobilization and communication efforts to amplify the voice and influence of leading religious leaders in the United States in debates about the need for development assistance that is oriented toward results and reflects priorities of recipient countries. It is expected that an increase in the visibility of religious leaders can help to inform and moderate political positions related to the volume and orientation of foreign assistance.

Grants to this Grantee
for support of Americans for Tax Fairness’ efforts to champion IRS modernization
Americans for Tax Fairness, a fiscally sponsored project of New Venture Fund, is a big tent of over 400 national and state endorsing organizations working for more than a decade to create a tax system where the rich and corporations pay their fair share of taxes to raise enough revenue to address our nation’s needs. This grant supports the group’s efforts to champion IRS modernization. (Substrategy: Executive Branch)
for support of The League
This grant will support The League, a fiscally sponsored project of New Venture Fund, which uses narrative and culture change campaigns to create a cultural environment supportive of reproductive rights and justice. The League is one of few organizations doing narrative and culture change work at scale with a gender justice lens and that has the infrastructure to do this work across a variety of sectors. (Strategy: U.S. Reproductive Equity)
for support of the Groundwork Collaborative project on IRS modernization
The Groundwork Collaborative, a fiscally sponsored project of New Venture Fund, is a think tank and advocacy project that starts new conversations on the economy by crafting stories about how the economy works that are accessible, intuitive, and compelling and are told through diverse spokespeople who are credible, plainspoken, and fearless. This grant supports Groundwork Collaborative’s work to grow support for the IRS to modernize its operations, build a direct tax filing option, and demonstrate that a well-funded government can play a critical role in strengthening our democracy.
