Policy Initiatives
Giving You the Tools to Turn Priorities Into Action
Our strength is in the relationships we build with funders, policymakers and communities. By cultivating trusted connections across regional and national policy spaces, we bring people together around informed solutions. Through our initiatives, members gain the tools and opportunities to advocate to policymakers and amplify community priorities, helping ensure policies and resources better serve communities across the Northwest.
Rising Together Series
Rising Together brings funders into timely conversations on policy issues that shape philanthropy and communities across the Northwest. Each session offers space for learning, dialogue and sharing strategies to advance equity and strengthen democracy.
Advocacy in Action
Advocacy takes practice, and we’re here to help. Our skills-based offerings, from trainings to workshops, are designed to help members build confidence and capacity as advocates.
Personalized Policy & Advocacy Coaching
Our network has access to tailored policy guidance through one-on-one consulting with our executive in residence, Remy Trupin, as well as customized advocacy support connected to opportunities like Foundations on the Hill. These offerings help funders move from interest to impact.
Democracy Northwest
We equip funders to take action alongside communities to protect and strengthen democracy. As trust in institutions declines and representation fails to reflect our region’s diversity, philanthropy has both the responsibility and the power to respond. By providing data, connections and practical strategies, Democracy Northwest supports civic engagement and lifts up community voices so democracy works for everyone.
Storybank
Stories are powerful tools for advocacy. Through our storybank, we gather and share examples of how philanthropy is strengthening communities across the region. These stories help policymakers understand the real-world impact of policies and why equitable investment matters.
