DISRUPTION is a national study of member-based advocacy organizations conducted by the Monitor Institute and funded by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

In lieu of the traditional white paper, we are presenting a set of tools for engagement around the issues raised by the study. We do this for two reasons:

1. The findings point to multiple dynamic tensions. Nothing is settled about how even the most relevant and impactful advocacy organizations engage constituencies or attracts resources. A conventional report - presenting data from a moment in time - would be immediately out of date and easily dismissed; and,
2. Since the story is unfolding rapidly, we want the organizations and their funders to be a part of its telling.

This slide deck pulls together some of the most provocative findings of the study and is meant to be a tool for discussion and dialogue. Feel free to use it to frame a discussion with colleagues, your board, your constituents and/or your members. Participate in our Working Wikily Blog on the topic.

"The report is great. You're making concrete what everyone is feeling. It's a much more comprehensive picture of the field than any of us have had previously. A lot of the messages are going to be challenging, painting a picture that's quite uncomfortable for folks." --Mayur Patel, Vice President of Strategy and Assessment at the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation

"It's part of the whole shift towards leadership with a network mindset - empowering everyone and not being so in control." --Stephanie McAuliffe, Director of Human Resources at The David and Lucile Packard Foundation
