One of the most striking advances in the voter participation field over the last five years has been the use of scientific controlled experiments to improve our knowledge of what works and what does not. This has dramatically increased cost-effectiveness. Now that same "clinical trial" approach is being used to improve the ways to persuade the public about issues and mobilize organizers and advocates to contact to policy-makers.
FCCP’s July First Monday call will focus on information that can help foundations and their grantees be more effective, and will include:
· Highlights of what has been learned from recent voter participation and advocacy experiments, including what works and how to maximize impact;
· How experiments can be built in, at minimal cost, to advocacy or voter engagement work that was going to be done anyway, and why incorporating experiments into this work is critical; and,
· Information about free assistance from the Advocacy Institute to help your grantees design and analyze experiments.
