Overview
A grant to Tides for the ReThink Media project would bolster ReThink's ability to provide media consulting, training, and assistance to organizations working on U.S. nuclear policy. We have recognized the critical importance of sophisticated media strategy in meaningfully reaching policymakers, reporters and the public and ReThink's expertise in national security policy makes it the only such organization working with grantees to develop such a strategy.

Grants to this Grantee
for the Mosaic initiative
This grant supports Mosaic, a project of the Tides Center, in its efforts to strengthen the infrastructure of the environmental community by investing in communications, leadership development, tools and training, field knowledge, and relationship-building between organizations and communities. (Substrategy: Build the Conditions for Enduring Conservation)
for the Open Contracting Partnership project
The Open Contracting Partnership engages governments and nongovernmental groups to establish and implement new global standards for transparency and broad participation in public contracting. The new standards will require that governments and companies disclose more contracts, that the information in the contracts is easily accessible and presented in user-friendly formats, and that citizens have opportunities to monitor contract award and execution processes. In addition to encouraging others to create and adopt these new norms, with this grant the Partnership would support country-level application of the principles and would facilitate learning among countries to ensure greater effectiveness in the use of public resources.
