I hope most of you have heard of the Joyce Foundation. I won't go into that here. I occasionally peruse their grant list. Here's the link:http://www.joycefdn.org/programs/gu.../programs/gunviolence/content/gun-grants.html
I saw this for 2005:
National Opinion Research Center
Chicago, IL $39,499
To add a selection of gun-related questions to its 2006 General Social Survey. (2 yrs.)
The Foundation must have liked their work because the NORC is a repeat offender, err grantee.
Academics are unbiased and can't be bought, right?
Ohio State University Foundation
John Glenn Institute for Public Service & Public Policy
Columbus, OH $125,000
To host a symposium at Stanford Law School on the connections between the Second Amendment and the Fourteenth Amendment, to publish papers in a major law review, and disseminate findings via the Web. (2 yrs.)
This one is cute as well:
International Association of Chiefs of Police
Alexandria, VA $174,788
To expand a Midwest-based advisory group
of law enforcement leaders interested in
promoting gun violence prevention policies and practices, and to plan a possible regional summit of Midwest law enforcement, elected officials, and other stakeholders on gun violence prevention. (9 mos.)
Last, but not least:
Mark Karlin & Associates
Chicago, IL $650,000
To support the continued efforts of its Freedom States Alliance, a project to promote financial self-sufficiency and effective media, public, and policy-maker education efforts among gun violence prevention groups, especially those in Illinois and Wisconsin.
(18 mos.)
If you visit the FSA Web page you'll see there are further orgs that feed off the good graces of the FSA.
Too bad our side doesn't have a deep-well to fund "research."
