The Project Grant Rule

Bolder Advocacy is here to dispel the myth that project-specific grants need to prohibit the use of grant funds for lobbying. If the project grant rule (PGR) is used, private foundations can fund public charities that lobby.

The key takeaway? The Project Grant Rule is a helpful tool for funding advocacy and it is actually very simple and easy to use.
