Recent Building Utopia Reports

Parent Organizing as a Strategy for Sustainable Policy Change
In a barebones comparison of philanthropic strategies to effect policy change, including direct service, public issue education, advocacy and organizing, it is organizing that holds the most untapped promise for sustained broad-based grassroots efforts.

Building Capacity for Regional Renewal
The Capacity Building Initiative of the Raymond John Wean Foundation began in mid-2007 and became fully operational in 2008. Its ultimate aim is to see the Mahoning Valley of northeast Ohio become a healthy place to live, work and raise families: known for equity, innovation and collaboration with robust civic life, honest and visionary politics, and a dynamic and diversified economy with a good range of jobs and safe, attractive neighborhoods.

Southern Organizing Strategy
The Southern Organizing Strategy will radiate from a shared vision of building the base of community organizing in the rural South to effectively impact elections, public policy, and philanthropic support.
