Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $400,000 to the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition (FRRC), via the Tides Foundation, for general support. FRRC worked to build support for Amendment 4, the 2018 ballot initiative that restored voting rights to formerly incarcerated people in Florida. This funding will enable FRRC to hire additional canvassers and continue to conduct outreach to formerly incarcerated people across the state.
This follows Open Philanthropy’s February 2017 support and falls within its focus area of criminal justice reform.
