It’s been a long time since the work supported by nonpartisan civic engagement funders has so dominated the national agenda. This new, collective sense of urgency has made the work of FCCP more timely than ever. FCCP is using the election year momentum to educate and convene a greater and more diverse number of funders around issues of common concern. We have enhanced our on-going efforts to bring together funders who may not typically sit at the same table, mixing single-issue funders with those who work across issue areas, breaking down interest silos in an effort to generate new connections and collaborations. Join us for the FCCP 2011 Spring Convening in Portland Oregon!
