About this grant
Some of the most important budget decisions of the past 20 years will be made in 2005. Faced with pressure to reduce the deficit, the Administration and Congress are poised to make deep spending cuts in a range of programs, including many which the Mott Foundation has helped establish. This grant will support the Hatcher Group to provide strategic communications assistance to state groups working to educate policymakers, the media, and the public about what’s at stake and the implications of various deficit reduction proposals. The Hatcher Group is a Washington, DC-based public affairs firm that helps nonprofit organizations by connecting their research and knowledge to key audiences who shape public policy.
