Advancement Project
General operating support is provided to the Advancement Project.
The Advancement Project (AP) is a national civil rights organization that seeks to build a fair and just multi-racial democracy in America through litigation, community organizing support, public policy reform and strategic communications. Based in Washington, D.C., AP functions as an advocacy organization and intermediary providing technical assistance to communities to challenge systemic barriers that perpetuate social and civil inequities.
Strategically, AP represents a new model of lawyering that links communities with external resources such as legal support, journalists, policy analysts, data and relevant research to advance opportunity and social justice. The Advancement Project seeks to address civil rights issues by cultivating long-standing relationships among grassroots initiatives and national policy and legal resources. The Advancement Project works in three core programmatic areas; (1) power and democracy, (2) opportunity to learn; and (3) strategic initiatives.
