State Alliances to Advance Transparency, Equity, and Accountability in the Economic Recovery
The Open Society Institute requests proposals to support alliances of state-based organizations
working to assure transparency, equity, and accountability in the economic recovery at the state
level. Many decisions that will influence the impact of the economic recovery on communities
of color, women, immigrant groups, LGBTQ individuals, youth, and low-income communities
will take place at the state level. Our goal is to provide support to state-based alliances that will
work to assure that federal and state economic recovery efforts are transparent and accountable;
benefit people most in need; and enhance equity rather than reinforce structures of inequality.
Ideally, state-based alliances will seek comprehensive and timely collection and dissemination of recovery-related spending data, advocate for equitable spending, promote a strong social safety
net, and assure that the role of decisionmakers in the success or failure of economic recovery
programs and policies is spotlighted.
