A new report examines the response of foundations, corporations and other institutional donors to the devastation wrought by Hurricane Sandy in October 2012.
Of its $4.1 trillion fiscal year 2016 budget, the U.S. federal government and its grantmaking agencies will give out billions of dollars in the form of grants to states, localities, and individuals, supporting a dizzying array of activities, from scientific research and economic development to arts, culture, and education.
Commissioned by the Arcus Foundation and designed as an open resource for grantees and the wider conservation and social justice movements, the report showcases the issues often faced by those in both sectors. It includes an overview of behavior change theories, a compilation of successful behavior change campaigns, lessons learned, and tools for planning new initiatives.
