5 PRESIDENT S LETTER The mission of the Smith Richardson Foundation is to contribute to important public debates and to address serious public policy challenges facing the United States. The Foundation seeks to help ensure the vitality of our social, economic, and governmental institutions. It also seeks to assist with the development of effective policies to compete internationally and to advance U.S. interests and values abroad. The Foundation advances its mission through its two principal grant making programs: the International Security and Foreign Policy Program and the Domestic Public Policy Program. The Foundation believes that conflict and change in the international environment continually create needs in the U.S. policy community for analysis and guidance on critical foreign and defense policy issues. In the domestic arena, the Foundation believes that policy makers are seeking innovative and pragmatic solutions to the long-term challenges affecting the well-being of all Americans. International Security and Foreign Policy The objective of the International Security and Foreign Policy Program is to assist the U.S. policy community in developing effective national security strategies and foreign policies. The Foundation is committed to supporting projects that help the policy community face the fundamental challenge of ensuring the security of the United States, protecting and promoting American interests and values abroad, and enhancing international order. For many years, the International Security and Foreign Policy Program has sought to address new security challenges facing the United States, including the threat of terrorism and the rise of cyber conflict, while still maintaining a focus on developments within and relations among great powers. The Foundation continues to support work on critical security issues in three contested regions Europe, East Asia, and the Middle East where vital interests of the United States and its allies are at stake. At the same time, the Foundation has sought to support new thinking on how to reshape U.S. political, military, and economic instruments of power to cope with current and future challenges. The Foundation also provides funding to foster the next generation of scholars and analysts and underwrites historical research with implications or lessons for current policy. The following grants illustrate the types of projects supported by the International Security and Foreign Policy Program: American Enterprise Institute: Researchers at the institute will lead a consortium of analysts to identify those factors, including cultural and economic, contributing to political dysfunction in countries in the Middle East and to explore what options are available to address them. Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments: A scholar at the center will develop a strategy to secure U.S. interests in Eurasia that allocates U.S. capabilities across 1

6 Europe, East Asia, and the Middle East and to prepare specific regional strategies for those theaters. The Dui Hua Foundation: The Foundation will engage in a dialogue with Chinese officials concerning prisoners held for political or religious crimes and will analyze developments shaping China s political evolution. Foundation for the Defense of Democracies: A researcher affiliated with the foundation will explore how adversarial states might engage in cyber-enabled economic warfare to coerce the United States or its allies and to develop new thinking about strategies to counter this threat. National Endowment for Democracy: A scholar at the endowment will identify the strategies that authoritarian powers like China and Russia use to project influence and weaken emerging democracies. National Institute for Public Policy: Two researchers will analyze the evolving global nuclear balance of power and offer recommendations for how U.S. forces and policies should be designed to ensure deterrence and stability. Domestic Public Policy The Domestic Public Policy Program supports projects that are intended to help the public and policy makers better understand and address critical challenges facing the United States. To that end, the Foundation supports research on and evaluation of existing public policies and programs, as well as projects that inject new ideas into public debates. The Foundation believes that policy makers face a series of challenges that need to be met if the United States is going to continue to prosper and provide opportunity to all of its citizens. One such challenge is to enhance social and economic mobility through such measures as improving the quality of the primary and secondary school sector and providing opportunities for post-secondary education and training for adults. A second challenge is to create an economic climate hospitable to entrepreneurship and growth. This will require a rethinking of how governments at all levels raise revenue and make fiscal choices among competing priorities as well as greater attention to balancing the costs and benefits of regulatory initiatives. The Foundation seeks to implement its agenda by supporting policy laboratories in which groups of scholars collaborate to evaluate programs and develop new policy thinking, book projects that seek to distill lessons from research and analysis in order to foster wide pubic and policy maker engagement with key policy-related issues, as well as stand-alone research projects. The following grants illustrate the types of projects supported by the Domestic Public Policy Program: Brookings Institution: A group of scholars will examine the slowdown in the U.S. economy s rate of productivity growth and consider what steps could be taken to accelerate it. 2

7 Brown University: A group of researchers will analyze patterns of economic mobility and explore whether college enrollment and receipt of public benefits can affect mobility rates. Columbia University: A team of scholars affiliated with the university will explore how economic forces and technological change are altering U.S. securities markets and explore whether those markets could more effectively supply capital to the U.S. economy. Georgetown University: Two scholars will assess how best to help people from lowincome backgrounds prepare for success later in life through an examination of the effectiveness of college and non-college training programs. Media Policy Center: Personnel from the center will work with Robert Putnam to produce a documentary film based on his book, Our Kids: The American Dream in Crisis. Urban Institute: A group of scholars at the institute will analyze the fiscal policies of state and local governments and assess how effectively those policies are supporting economic development and other public priorities. The Trustees of the Smith Richardson Foundation believe that the country s well-being depends on vigorous and capable domestic institutions and strong leadership around the world. They hope that through wise and strategic grant making they will enhance the capacity of the public and the policy making community to advance the interests of the nation as a whole. Peter L. Richardson President 3

She will develop a series of fiscal forecasting tools that will enable public officials, analysts, journalists, and others to assess how changes in tax and spending policies will affect the future finances of state governments.

46 The Volcker Alliance New York, NY Truth and Integrity in Government Finance $300,000 William Glasgall will lead an effort to encourage state governments to adopt responsible fiscal practices. He will build partnerships with scholars at twelve universities across the country to review the budgets of all fifty states annually. They will examine how states use revenue forecasting; the use of one-time fiscal solutions, such as asset sales, to balance budgets; public employee pension funding; the maintenance of rainy day funds; and the extent to which budgetary information is easily accessible to the public. The project s findings will appear in an annual survey of state fiscal practices and a series of single-issue reports. Wellesley College Wellesley, MA New Firms and Founders: Characteristics of Entrepreneurs in the United States Sari Pekkala Kerr and William Kerr will lead an effort to help the policy community better understand the sources of entrepreneurship in the U.S. economy by identifying the demographic characteristics of entrepreneurs. They will analyze data from the Longitudinal Employer Household Database to identify key demographic characteristics of entrepreneurs, including age, gender, race, place of birth, and citizenship. They will also field a survey among entrepreneurs in Massachusetts in order to collect data on other characteristics, such as propensity to take risks. The project s findings will appear in a report and a series of papers. $107,941 42

56 NOTE TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Distribution of Income The Internal Revenue Service requires the Foundation to distribute, within 12 months of the end of each year, approximately 5% of the average fair value of its assets not used in carrying out the charitable purpose of the Foundation. The distribution requirement for 2016 has been met. 52

57 PROCEDURES Initial grant inquiries to the Foundation should be made in the form of a concept paper. Such papers should not exceed five pages. The paper should include a description of the issue that the project will address; an explanation of how the project is relevant to public policy; and an assessment of how the project would add to the existing knowledge base. The paper should also discuss the credentials of the project s principal investigator; an outline of the research strategy; and a description of the products that the project will produce. An estimate of the project s costs should be included. A template for concept papers is available on the Foundation s web site. If the staff determines that a proposed project merits further consideration under the Foundation s guidelines, an applicant will be asked to submit a full proposal that conforms to a proposal template that is available on the Foundation s web site. Decisions on requests for grants greater than $50,000 and for multi-year grant support are made at one of the three board meetings that the Foundation holds each year. Proposals for grants of $50,000 or less are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are handled as promptly as possible. Although the mission of the Foundation is to support public policy research, it makes a handful of grants to direct service organizations in North Carolina and Connecticut. Direct service organizations located outside of these two states, as well as national direct service charities, will not be considered for support. It is a regrettable but inescapable fact that the vast majority of unsolicited requests for funding must be rejected. The Foundation does not provide support for the following: Deficit funding of previously established operations Building or construction projects Arts and humanities projects Historic restoration projects Research projects in the physical sciences Evaluations of direct service organizations conducted internally Educational or other support to individuals All grant proposals should be addressed to: Smith Richardson Foundation 60 Jesup Road Westport, CT (203)
