Write letters to the editor, opinion editorials, and commentaries for the philanthropic press. It is crucial that we all speak up for those traditionally kept from the democratic process. Take an active voice in making democracy work. Distribute payout literature at meetings, conferences, and within you peer circles. At every gathering, take the opportunity to educate.
Dialogue is the first step to ensuring that more money is directed to social and economic justice.
Advocate an increase in payout at your board meetings. The decision-makers in your organization need to know that this issue is key if they are to provide effective charitable giving. Provide them with payout educational materials and our Statement of Principles for them to sign on to. Provide funding for the campaign. Support NNG's initiative and democracy more generally by funding our work and providing NNG with the necessary resources.
