The Open Philanthropy Project awarded a grant of $200,000 to the Center for Criminal Justice Reform via the American Conservative Union Foundation to support Pat Nolan’s work on criminal justice reform.
One of Open Philanthropy's goals in this area is to help build new political constituencies that advocate for criminal justice reform, while also strengthening existing constituencies. Open Philanthropy believes that increasing Pat Nolan’s ability to coordinate conservative voices that favor reform and to communicate about these issues with the conservative base might help increase Republican support and energy for criminal justice reform.
