Policy often plays a negligible role policy plays in elections, with debates and speeches doing little to encourage candidates to detail their proposals.

Cracks in the Foundation: Equity and Grantmaking in Virginia Community Foundations
This report examines the distribution of community foundation grants in the Virginia Beach, Richmond, and Northern Virginia Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) in the state of Virginia, by using the Opportunity Atlas Data Tool to map grantees’ locations over income mobility outcomes. The atlas relies on 1970-2010 Census data and tax information to estimate the earning potential of residents based on neighborhood location, race, and gender. The results demonstrate that foundations–specifically the Richmond Foundation, The Northern Virginia Foundation, and the Hampton Road Foundation–did not focus on funding non-profits located in neighborhoods with the worst socioeconomic outcomes. Additionally, the funding disparities often correlated along racial lines, as neighborhoods with a higher fraction of non-white residents were less likely to receive funding. Based on these observations and the larger body of nonprofit and foundation research, funding mechanisms for local non-profits need to be rethought to ensure that funds are being directed to the neighborhoods that need them the most to improve residential outcomes. Potential solutions to reduce philanthropic inequities include foundation lifespan restrictions, changes in tax law to incentivize foundation spending, and boosts to government Community Development Block Grant and Community Service Block Grant programs, as well as further research and analysis of foundation giving.

Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact: Coordinating Climate Change Response Through New Government Structures
The Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact (SFRCCC) was founded in 2009 by the Miami-Dade, Monroe, and Palm Beach counties as a means to share resources, reduce competition, and more effectively address evident climate change impacts. Despite a relatively informal structure, this regional network has been remarkably successful, in large part due to the voluntary implementation of different recommendations and support by grants. However, the success of the SFRCCC, especially as time goes by and climate impacts worsen nationally, may not be able to be replicated in other regions and at different levels of government due to competition for grant dollars and to the inherent difficulty of scaling a regionally unique solution.
