The Joyce Foundation Betraying Donor Intent in the Windy City Stopping Juvenile Detention: The Joyce Foundation Betraying donor intent in the Windy City By Jonathan Hanen Summary : The Joyce Foundation’s en- dowment came from David Joyce, a lum- ber magnate who believed in the American system of free enterprise. Today the foun- dation that lives off his wealth is a hotbed of trendy, left-wing thinking and grant- making. It funds efforts to hurt the lumber industry, turn schools into union-controlled sources of Democratic Party patronage, block Americans’ gun rights, and constrict economic freedoms.

  • Glover Park Group Date: March 6, 2008 Re: Food and Fuel Campaign RFP
    MEMORANDUM To: Scott Faber, Grocery Manufacturers Association From: Glover Park Group Date: March 6, 2008 Re: Food and Fuel Campaign RFP Thank you for the opportunity to present this proposal for services. The unintended consequences of America’s current corn-based ethanol policy are crying out for increased focus and attention. Already, independent-minded grassroots organizations, news media leaders and policy makers are recognizing the looming threat to the food security of Americans and vulnerable populations worldwide. In this environment, a federal agency-level or legislative solution to the economically, environmentally and socially untenable ethanol policies now in place is feasible. A range of options exist to help alleviate the problem. Examples include an EPA waiver, legislation eliminating or updating of the biofuels mandate, ending the ethanol import tariff and possibly shifting revenue from the blender tax credit to hunger abatement programs. At the same time, state governments looking to take action on climate change in the absence of clear federal leadership (or under the sway of corn ethanol interests) may soon establish undesirable policies, while other states may be reachable on reforming existing policies. We therefore have a window – albeit brief – to intervene and change funding priorities before the impacts become too great. Our opportunity and task is to galvanize grassroots, media and policy voices into a unified campaign that will impact decision makers at the state and federal level and deliver constructive shifts in policy. The Glover Park Group is an agency that was designed to help build and manage these kinds of high-intensity campaigns. We have deep experience bringing together diverse groups to organize around issues of common interest; effectively coordinating efforts among those groups; and then translating that organizational energy into effective communications blitzes that force policy makers to respond.

Henry Adams 8 President’s Letter 10 Education 44 Employment 45 Environment 46 Gun Violence 47 Money and Politics 48 Culture 49 Grants Approved 65 Financial Statements 73 2005 Program Guidelines 48 Fifty years after Brown v. Board of Education, America’s schools still fail to provide many poor and minority children with a quality education. 2 3 A big part of the problem: poor and minority children are much more likely than other children to have teachers who are inexperienced, uncertified, or teaching subjects they were not trained to teach. 4 5 Yet hope exists: over time, effective teachers can erase the achievement gap and help kids learn. 6 7 In each of the Foundation’s programs, our priorities are shaped by what the research identifies as the most effective strategies to address social challenges. Our goal is to identify and promote evidence-based public policies that will improve the lives of Midwest citizens. The Foundation’s board has identified six broad categories of issues that have an impact on our region: education, the environment, employment, gun violence, money and politics, and culture. When determining what to fund within these categories, we consider the president’s letter severity of a problem, our ability to identify a possible solution, and the likelihood that our resources can make Among the central challenges facing our nation today is how to provide high-quality education and a difference. The projects that we fund almost always include some of the following: training to the next generation of adults.

A short description of the history and politics of Second Amendment scholarship is necessary to explain why that is so. If there is such a thing as settled constitutional law, the Second Amendment may have been its quintessential example. The United States Supreme Court addressed the Amendment three' times-in 1876,2 1886,3 and 19394-and on each occasion held that it granted the people a right to bear arms only within the militia.' Although in some circles today there is much discussion about what the word "militia" means, the Supreme Court had no trouble with the term.
