press release Rockefeller Brothers Fund Announces President's Grant for joint Policy Development-Phipps CDC Project 11 February 2002 The Rockefeller Brothers Fund (RBF) announced a $25,000 President's Grant for a joint Policy Development-Phipps Community Development corporation project. The grant will support a test of Policy Development's (PD's) "Public Policy Capacity-Building" model, engaging the Phipps Community development Corporation (Phipps CDC) as the client organization. "We find that the organizations that can benefit the most from our services are also the least able to afford them, and RBF understood this," PD's Aron Goldman explains. "The World Bank and the United Nations Association have been great clients, but community-based organizations are really where we want to deliver analytic capacity and new public policy involvement." Phipps CDC is one of the oldest and most well-regarded services providers in the city, but their policy engagement has historically been limited. As this RBF-funded pilot project increases Phipps CDC's impact externally, its core community services will also become more effective. For PD, this project is an opportunity to learn, and to ready the model for larger interventions with other domestic and international organizations. |
