Please try and stay as broad as possible with the grant request — e.g. if not general support, then to help support Equitable Growth’s communications and outreach capacity broadly, as opposed to limiting yourself to funds tied to a narrow project. Also, query whether you could ask for $500K per year for multiple years. Having Hewlett commit for three years may be helpful in that regard. I’m copying Herb in case he has additional suggestions. Thanks. Steve. From: Heather Boushey [mailto:HBoushey@equitablegrowth.org] Sent: Tuesday, August 04, 2015 3:23 PM To: Daetz, Steve Subject: Re: September California meetings Importance: High. This is super helpful, thank you. In new news, Wyss wants a $500k grant (thank you for your help and JDP I guess has helped) on a super tight deadline (like, I have a week). Woo hoo!

Hi Heather: Herb and I chatted about the list. A couple reactions: ? Steve Silverstein — Friends with Herb and easy to connect; Herb’s main question is whether Steve may be doing a lot of political spending this year, which might affect his philanthropic giving. ? Beto/Marisla — we can help connect, if needed; he’s based in southern California, so that might complicate things. ? David Desjardins — you can work directly with Susan Sandler on making a connection, if needed. ? Hewlett — insofar as you already have an oral commitment from Larry K, query how much else you want/need to do right now. ? Packard — it would be great if Darren can make a connection; we only interact with them in connection with some environmental work. ? Omidyar — seems unlikely based on what we know of them, but we are not close to either Pierre or Pam; John may know Pam from her prior funding at CAP (maybe for the Enough project?) ? Steyer — Herb thinks that Tom is so focused on his climate work that Equitable Growth would not resonate. We do not think the work aligns well with some of the other larger foundations in the area that we know (e.g. Moore, Irvine). Steve.

I wanted to follow up on this. Do you have reactions or suggestions to share?

Dear Herb, Susan, Steve and John: I hope this e-mail finds you all well and enjoying the summer! As I mentioned to Steve yesterday, I will be traveling to San Francisco to attend the American Political Science Association conference September 3–6, 2015, and am planning to come early (and stay after if that makes sense) to do a round of meeting. Our Research Director, John Schmitt, is planning to join me in these meetings. First, we’d like to come by and see you, if you’re available and talk about our plans. We have talked with Emmanuel Saez and Gabriel Zucman about meeting the week before the conference. Steve suggested maybe meeting with you and them, and I m happy to discuss this. I’ve already reached out to Kelly Born, who is our grant officer at Hewlett. Her and Larry Kramer will be at the conference and either there or before/after, we will sit down and talk about our proposal. I’m planning to reach out to Beto Bedolfe and Michael Lerner, as well. I wanted to get your thoughts on connecting with other potential partners for Equitable Growth. People on my list that we’ve discussed in the past are: Steve Silberstein Pam & Pierre Omidyar David desJardins (Susan was going to make an introduction at the DA conference and let’s revisit this idea?) Tom Steyer Packard Foundation (Darren Walker also also encouraged me to connect with them and said he’d be happy to make an introduction) Does this seem like the right list? Who else do you think we should connect with? As always, I would also be grateful for your help with introductions. Please let me know what you think. Best, Heather. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Heather Boushey Executive Director and Chief Economist Washington Center for Equitable Growth 1333 H Street, NW, 2nd Floor Washington, DC 20005. hboushey@equitablegrowth.org<mailto:hboushey@equitablegrowth.org> www.Equitablegrowth.org<http://www.Equitablegrowth.org> Desk: (202) 545–3341 Twitter: @hboushey
