Do not make it yet another hurdle for getting the work done. Money still makes us crazy, especially when we are approaching the end of grant funds. Perhaps this is a time when sympathetic funders can help programs make plans. Help agencies get access to good research. Learning involves knowing about more than one s own experience.
Agencies don t have the time to find appropriate research or to make it accessible.
Foundations can play a major role in finding appropriate resources to help with this. Don t shy away from funding advocacy activities. Especially now, community groups need to challenge public agencies whose practices are less than ideal. Programs may need to challenge existing powers. Remember to ask how programs affect women and men differently.
