Call for Proposals: Transparency and Equity in the Economic Recovery in Colorado, Florida, Louisiana
The Open Society Institute requests proposals to support alliances of state-based organizations working to ensure that federal and state economic recovery efforts are transparent and accountable, benefit those most in need, and enhance equity rather than reinforce structures of inequality.
In July, the Open Society Institute issued a request for proposals from state-based advocates in New York, California, Texas, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Wisconsin. We are now issuing a second request directed at groups in Louisiana, Florida, and Colorado.
OSI seeks to fund alliances that will:
- seek comprehensive and timely collection and dissemination of recovery-related spending data;
- advocate for equitable spending;
- promote a strong social safety net;
- spotlight the role of decisionmakers in the success or failure of economic recovery programs.
Conference Calls for Prospective Grantees
OSI will host conference calls for interested organizations and funders within each state to describe the application process and field questions about the overall effort.
September 15 Louisiana 10 am CT/11 EST
September 16 Florida 11 am EST
September 17 Colorado 10 am MT/Noon EST
For instructions on how to join the conference call, please send an email to staterfp@sorosny.org.
