Proteus Fund has designed and managed collaborative grant making initatives since 1997.
Our initiatives are informed by a framework of social and economic justice. They combine expertise in progressive policy analysis and field scanning with targeted grant making and technical assistance designed to win needed reforms. Each initiative is structured around a strategy that is refined yearly and uses Proteus Fund’s highly effective rapid response grant making function and support for lobbying activity when it will advance a winning strategy.
Service options: (tailored for each grant making initiative) financial management; grants management; strategic guidance; donor education; branding and communications; docket prep and briefing; funding partner cultivation and recruitment; rapid response; convening; and insulating funding partners from lobbying exposure.
