About this grant
This grant will support ongoing management of learning communities for the Foundation’s asset-building grantees. These communities provide grantees and other asset-building stakeholders a unique space for the exchange of ideas and strategies, problem-solving, and for the development of potential collaborations. As the facilitator of these communities, Brandeis University’s Institute on Assets and Social Policy will develop content for meetings, Webinars, and conference calls with the Foundation’s grantees. Project staff will also serve as an evaluation partner, monitoring meetings and other activities for important insights and lessons and sharing that information with the asset-building field. Brandeis University’s Institute on Assets and Social Policy is a public policy institute whose mission is to conduct research that informs policies and practices that broaden wealth and improves the social and economic well-being of American households.
