[COMM-ORG] NCRP report on impacts of organizing in NC

[Discussion list for COMM-ORG]

Dear Colleagues:



The National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy has released the 
second in a series of reports documenting the impacts of advocacy, 
community organizing and civic engagement. The report features the work 
of 13 organizations in North Carolina and what they have accomplished 
since 2003. The findings are very impressive – for those wins that could 
be quantified, NCRP documented more than $1.8 billion in benefits to 
workers, youth, the uninsured, senior citizens, rural residents, 
individuals with HIV/AIDS, and many other under-represented 
constituencies. The groups also achieved many equally significant 
non-monetary impacts benefiting farmworkers, LGBT residents, and others.



NCRP is using the series of reports to engage institutional grantmakers 
in dialogue about the effectiveness of advocacy and organizing with the 
goal of increasing philanthropic support for these strategies. 
Previously NCRP released a similar report about advocacy and organizing 
in New Mexico.
