SPN offers three main types of support to the Network related to funding and grants.

First, generous donors seeking to invest in policy reforms in the states contribute to SPN’s State Solutions Grant Funds. These funds support state think tank issue campaigns that pursue opportunities identified in the policy working groups. Invitation to issue campaign grants is determined by available funds and donor intent.

Second, SPN’s grantmaking team is available to speak with affiliates at any time regarding their current and future initiatives in order to help identify funding opportunities.

Third, the team also advises on grant reports. If you have questions about the best way to convey your organizational accomplishments resulting from a particular grant, they will be happy to consult with you. Please reach out.
