Overview
The New Venture Fund (NVF) is a public charity that offers grant-making services, executes donor-developed projects, and provides full fiscal sponsorship that includes grant and contract management for innovative public-interest projects. NVF will launch a national, multi-donor fund—provisionally to be known as the Common Core Communications Collaborative (CCCC)—that will pool resources from an initial set of five foundations in support of strategic communications and outreach efforts at the national, state, and local levels to help ensure sustained demand for effective implementation of the Common Core State Standards and their related assessments. A total initial project budget of $1.1 million will support planning efforts, including developing a long-term strategy for the Collaborative and establishing a governance and decision-making structure, and providing initial investments to the field via sub grants and contracts to support messaging regarding Common Core implementation.

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.
