FrameWorks Institute

Location: National, based in Washington, DC

The mission of the FrameWorks Institute is to advance the nonprofit sector's communications capacity by identifying, translating and modeling relevant scholarly research for framing the public discourse about social problems. FrameWorks designs, commissions, manages and publishes communications research to prepare nonprofit organizations to expand their constituency base, to build public will, and to further public understanding of specific social issues. In the education sector, FrameWorks has studied education reform and produced a series of reports and recommendations, all of which can be found on their website. They provide powerful insights to help educators and advocates talk about education in a way that can support meaningful educational change.
