The Evelyn and Walter Haas, Jr. Fund is working across a range of important issues and causes to advance and protect fundamental rights and opportunities for all people. In areas from immigrant rights and gay and lesbian equality to education and nonprofit leadership, we’re always learning new things – about innovative approaches and ideas, model initiatives, and more. In this section of the website, we share some of the resources that reflect what we’re learning and that shed new light on the work we’re doing in partnership with our grantees and others. The resources include materials we have produced ourselves, including slideshows and features about our grantees and the issues we're working on, plus links to important reports, articles and other items. Please keep checking back as we continue to add new resources to these pages.
