Roles Sharp plays: 
What's New From Millennium -- The Communications Supercharge

Marcia Sharp’s newest publicatcommunicationssupercharge.jpgion is this just released report detailing how 18 of the country's largest foundations use communications to boost their public policy work. The report outlines ten different strategies used by the foundations to increase the impact of their policy work -- five within the grants component of foundation work, and five that go beyond the grants program. It also looks at who heads the communications function, where that person sits in the foundation, and how the communications programs are structured. The study was conducted by a research team, including Sharp, from the Center on Philanthropy and Public Policy at the University of Southern California.
