Powerful tools for achieving your philanthropic mission
Why should funders try to shape public policy? Simply put, it’s the only way to affect the laws that determine how people will be treated, what services will be provided, and what behaviors are acceptable.
But what role should foundations play? Power in Policy, written primarily by foundation practitioners for foundations, is the first book that:
- Makes a strong case for why advocacy and civic participation are fundamental roles for foundations
- Shares insights, lessons, and perspectives from foundation leaders and legal and philanthropic experts on how to engage in and incorporate advocacy into philanthropy
- Answers frequently asked questions including, “How does my foundation assess various risks?” “How do we organizationally prepare for public policy work and develop advocacy strategies?”
- Gives rich case stories of how private and community foundations—including large and small foundations—are meeting their missions through public policy and civic activity
- Presents clearly and concisely key principles and legal rules
- Provides a toolkit for foundations to develop the capacity to engage in advocacy at their own speed and resource level
How to get involved
From big picture concerns—like the risks and rewards of advocacy—to specifics such as legal rules, this guide shows what advocacy means in terms of work and outcomes and how foundations can develop and launch their own public policy activities.
Power in Policy is a must-have for foundations who want to have a long-term impact on the communities and causes they care about.

Store description
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
