P4 (Philanthropy Public Policy Portal)
P4 was developed by the California regional associations to help promote philanthropic work in the policy arena and to highlight community level-work that philanthropy is committed to in California. The portal is divided into three sections, providing resources for grantmakers, policymakers and a toolkit for both audiences on communications, research and grantmaking.
