Workshop: Foundations and Public Policy: Leveraging for Impact
This workshop for young foundation professionals and other philanthropic leaders began with presentations from three panelists. The first part of the session was focused on how foundations can (and can't) engage in policy work and the mechanisms at their disposal. The second portion of the workshop provided exemplars of different kinds of foundations engaging in a variety of policy work. The third portion was the interactive session helping workshop participants to understand their own work through the policy lens. Small groups worked on case studies of foundations from which they developed policy engagement strategies.

Purpose:
• Introduce family foundations and philanthropists to the idea of incorporating social justice ideals and practices into their work
• Facilitate better organization and collaboration within the Social Justice Philanthropy Collaborative on how to take the messages of social justice philanthropists to wider audiences
The Collaborative is a growing network of national organizations within the field of philanthropy whose mission is to increase and deepen donors’ commitment to funding social change. The work of the Collaborative involves building a network, to broaden the range of social justice organizations that can collectively influence the field of philanthropy. Participating organizations support social justice philanthropy explicitly through their mission, values and programming, and continually engage in ongoing conversations and thinking regarding social justice issues.
