Our guiding principle is our process by which we determine our position on issues.
We follow this process when arriving at our issue positions and ask that those who work with us also abide by this process.
Research. Understand. Voice. Persist.
Process
Research
Research each issue independently using thorough, reliable and verifiable evidence.
Position Statement
Create a position explanation. Be open to changing position when presented with sound arguments and evidence. Make positions and position advocacy free from logical fallacies, especially personal attacks.
Opposition Viewpoints
Review all positions on an issue to ensure understanding of both pro and con and third-rail viewpoints.
Mindset
Engagement and advocacy activities can be passionate, emotional, confronting (to our own ideas and in dialogue with others!). This work may challenge power structures, assumptions, and patience. This work develops resilient, persistence and critical thinking.

Grant Procurement
Recreating Nevadan’s grant procurement philosophy and management:
1. Every level of government and all public agencies must have the guidance and capacity to actively review all grant opportunities.
2. County and municipal governments and public agencies must have incentives to create grant-funded plans that reorganize and repurpose existing programs. The reorganization and repurposing should address vital needs in ways that are new, effective, and efficient.
3. Grant funds should cover reorganization and repurposing costs, such as training, purchasing new equipment, and adopting continuous evaluation and assessment practices.
