Call for Proposals: Transparency and Equity in the Economic Recovery

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.

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.

We are currently accepting proposals from six states: California, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, Texas, and Wisconsin. Through the OSI-Baltimore office, a Maryland-based alliance will also be considered under a separate process.

The complete guidelines and answers to frequently asked questions are available for download below.
