Frances Kunreuther directs the Building Movement Project, which works to strengthen U.S. nonprofits as sites of democratic practice and advance ways the nonprofit sector can build movement for progressive social change. The Project is currently focused on three areas: generational change in leadership, the role service organizations play in social change, and nonprofits as sites of public engagement. In addition to Building Movement, Frances is a senior fellow at the Research Center for Leadership and Action at NYU and co-author of From the Ground Up: Grassroots Organizations Making Social Change (Cornell, 2006) and the forthcoming Up Next: Generational Leadership Change in the Social Sector (Jossey-Bass, Summer 2008). Frances was a senior fellow at the Hauser Center for Nonprofit Organizations at Harvard University for five years after heading the Hetrick-Martin Institute for lesbian and gay youth. She has worked with immigrants, homeless families, domestic violence and sexual assault survivors, and substance users during her thirty years in the nonprofit sector.
