I Think They Got Their Money’s Worth

It’s that time of year again – just filing the NJ PEER annual Report for a tiny – and I mean tiny – grant from a NJ based funder. It amounts to about $20 per day – not per hour, per day! That’s a little over $1 per hour.

I rarely blow my own horn, but foundation grant money is getting extremely scarce, and curiously, other far less effective groups are getting fat. So below is just the main stream media we drove, submitted as part of this year’s Final Report. And these are not cheap sound bite media or generated by trolling press row, but based on and reflective of the substantive policy expertise, analysis, and advocacy we bring.

(and this list does NOT include: 1) the actual work we conducted across the state, 2) the legislative and regulatory testimony, 3) the PEER press releases, 4) the TV and radio interviews, 5) a major upcoming investigative documentary we worked on (to be broadcast nationally late summer) 6) the hundreds of posts here at Wolfenotes read by thousands of people, and 6) the thousands of emails and phone calls).

So, if there’s a funder out there who’s looking to fund an effective group, give us a call. We’re hungry, and we produce.
