The Foundation's Connect project helps RWJF grantees build or enhance relationships with their members of Congress and other policymakers. Learn more about the Connect project.

No lobbying takes place as part of Connect activities. Like all private foundations, RWJF is generally prohibited from lobbying or otherwise attempting to influence legislation, and the use of its funds are similarly restricted. RWJF prohibits the use of grant funds for either lobbying or political campaign activities. Other organizations interested in implementing a Connect-style program should be familiar with lobbying and political campaign restrictions.
